Gunnar Ryan Wiik born in Norway, September 23, 1981, also known as Ryan Wiik, is a filmmaker and seasoned entertainment entrepreneur who has launched highly innovative companies. He serves as Chairman & President of Kamara -- an entertainment conglomerate for the 21st century incorporated in Switzerland, set to build the first Major to be based in Europe, with its first self-contained production facility in Almeria, Spain. Kamara was envisioned by Wiik to provide much needed innovation to the entertainment industry -- by shifting the power into the hands of artists.
Wiik became known publicly after he led the growth and expansion of his initial companies, not as CEO, but as the lead actor and producer of a planned film-franchise from a start-up into a $100 million publicly traded company.
At the beginning of his career, Wiik had spent years building the franchise property where he was originally set to star in the title role -- Morgan Kane. He helped take the parent, WR Entertainment, public in 2016 on the Oslo Stock Exchange Merkur Market. The original investors that financed Wiik's development company in 2007 saw a return of more than 1000% at the entrance to public markets. As a result of dedication and artistic vision, the Morgan Kane property became a highly commercialized IP with unheard-of franchise potential, attracting both billionaires and A-list talent... before its machinations of corporate opportunism caused Wiik to step away from the project.
Thereafter, the Morgan Kane project -- ceased its trajectory to the screen, and IP rights were reverted to the authors' estate in 2020.
Since his departure from WR, Wiik was approached and agreed to collaborate with Indie Film, an award-winning independent producer of documentary features. A unit of filmmakers, have followed Wiik's work in building Kamara globally -- including Spain, Los Angeles and Switzerland covering a period going on several years to date, filming an intimate portrayal of Wiik's life story in the feature length documentary film titled "The Curse of Kane".- Animation Department

Born in Stranstuen, Hamar, Norway, Norwegian soprano Kisten Flagstad's father was a conductor, and her mother was a singing coach and pianist as well as her first teacher. Flagstad continued her studies in Oslo with Ellen Schyte-Jacobsen and in Stockholm with Dr. Gillis Bratt. While still a student, she made her début at the National Theater in Oslo in 1913 as Nuri in D'Albert's Tiefland. For the next 18 years she sang exclusively in Scandinavia, performing in opera, operetta and musical comedy. Flagstad's first Isolde in Oslo in 1932 led to Bayreuth engagements in minor parts in 1933 and to roles as Sieglinde and Gutrune in 1934. Later in 1934, Flagstad turned her sights on North America and auditioned at the Metropolitan Opera to succeed the reigning Wagnerian soprano Frida Leider. Her unheralded Met début as Sieglinde, broadcast nationwide on February 2, 1935, created a sensation. Four days later, she sang Isolde, and later that month, performed Brünhilde in Die Walküre and Die Götterdämmerung for the first time. Almost overnight she was regarded as the pre-eminent Wagnerian soprano of her generation. Later that season, Flagstad also sang Elsa, Elisabeth, and her first Kundry. Fidelio (1936) was her only non-Wagnerian role at the Met before the war. She sang the same repertory in San Francisco in 1935-38 and in Chicago in 1937.
In 1936 and 1937 she performed the roles of Isolde, Brünhilde and Senta at Covent Garden under Sir Thomas Beecham, Fritz Reiner and Wilhelm Furtwängler, arousing as much enthusiasm there as in New York. In 1941 Flagstad returned to Nazi-occupied Norway to join her second husband, whose collaboration with the Nazis led to his arrest after World War II. Although her own wartime record was free from controversy, her return to Norway during the war and a certain political naïvété in her nature created much ill-feeling towards her, particularly in the USA.
During four consecutive Covent Garden seasons, from 1948 to 1951, Flagstad repeated all her regular Wagnerian roles, including Kundry and Sieglinde. She returned to San Francisco in 1948 but was not invited back to the Metropolitan Opera until Sir Rudolph Bing became manager. In the 1950-1951 season, although she was well into her 50s, she showed herself still in remarkable form as Isolde, Brünnhilde and Fidelio. Flagstad's final role at the Metropolitan Opera was as Alceste in Gluck's opera. Her final operatic performances were as Purcell's Dido at the Mermaid Theatre in London in 1953. Flagstad continued to record and sing concerts, and was director of the Norwegian National Opera from 1958-1960.
The enduring purity, beauty and power of Flagstad's tone probably owed much, not only to natural gifts and sound training, but to the enforced repose of the war years and the fact that she had undertaken no heavy roles until middle life. She was regarded as an impeccable musician in matters of rhythm and intonation. While she was not the most dramatic or magnetic of Wagnerian heroines, no one within living memory surpassed her sheer beauty and consistency of line and tone. Of her many records, the complete Tristan und Isolde with Furtwängler undoubtedly offers the finest memorial to her interpretive art in its maturity. Her pre-war recordings, however, showcase her voice in its freshest brilliance and clarity.- Eirik Berg is a white Norwegian actor. He was born in the suburbs just outside the town of Hamar, to Amanda DuPort and Theodore Berg-Christensen. Formerly a professional footballer for Norwegian club Ham-Kam, he tore defenses apart with his height and pace. After a heavy night out celebrating the second term of US president Barack Obama, he allegedly broke his right index finger. This caused an inflammation in his right nostril, which prevented him from breathing. The problem soon grew so severe that he was forced to give up his footballing career, and started acting instead. Berg is most noted for his voice acting skills.
