A retelling of the Greek myth, ‘Icarus’ tells the story of the inventor Daedalus and his son Icarus. Trapped in a tower on an island, they want to escape.
With the help of the greek god Apollo, they make wings to cross the sea. Made of just feathers, thread and wax, the flight will be dangerous. Will their freedom be worth the risk?

Director's statement
Since first having heard of the myth of Icarus back in highschool, Skyler loved the depth the story offers.
It’s a story of freedom and going after what you want, no matter the consequences. Reading the many different interpretations of the message the story is supposed to tell, they chose to focus this movie on hope, rather than a warning. Why shouldn’t you go after what you want, and live a fulfilling life? ‘Before he fell, Icarus flew.’
‘Icarus’ is a solo-production by Skyler Muller. Filmed entirely in a garage box, a small filmset was build for the main location of the film. The other locations are CGI.
