Production

"Kamilla and the Thief" was the first feature film to be produced in Kristiansand, and was financed privately, in a time when it was common (and still is) for Norwegian films to receive support from the government to get produced. Producer Odd Hynnekleiv used three years to find investors to the project. After the films success it took only three weeks to secure investors for the sequel, Kamilla and the Thief II.

Hynnkleiv and his wife, director Grete Solomonsen produced the film with their own company, Penelope Film. The crew were mixed with local talent and international craftsmen, such as Academy Award-winning British cinematographer Walter Lassally.
