The Wish was a collaboration with Icelandic Production Company Fenrir Films.

It was funded primarily by Icelandic Film Funds, and was shot in London and Iceland in the summer of 2019.

Synopsis: Nine-year-old Karen has always dreamed of meeting her father, an actor living in London, and getting to know the magical world she believes he inhabits. Her wish comes true when she goes to visit him, but the experience, which is both exciting and uncomfortable, makes her realise that he’s not exactly the father she had hoped for.
