Location managers need to do more than just find perfect settings; we have to ensure that everything from the weather to traffic to parking will be taken care of.

We have several Location Managers in-house with deep experience from film, tv, commercial and stills-productions.

Whatever you're looking for when it comes to the perfect spot for your film production, we believe we can find the perfect place for you.

Whatever it is, we know how to work with local governments to get the job done. This might be finding interesting locations for indie films, or scouting locations for a nature documentary.

We know that location is everything and we love what we do. It's a proven fact that location is key to a successful production.

Scandinavia is generally viewed as a very film-friendly region. As a general rule, you can shoot almost anywhere you like when you have a simple setup that does not require exclusive access to any public spaces. In cases where ground control is needed, such as the closure of streets, large light set-ups, etc., the process of getting permits can take anywhere from two to four weeks.

Obviously, there are differences between different countries, but our service providers are able to point you in the right direction for navigating the various regulations, permits, and shooting possibilities.

Crew members from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are very professional and of high standards.

Whenever possible, we use key crew with at least 10 years of experience, and who are familiar with working with international directors and producers. Crew sizes in Scandinavia are typically smaller than in other countries. The process of working with us is smooth and seamless because we're flexible and cooperative between departments.

You can ask us for a list of our most recommended crews if you need one.

Whenever shooting extends beyond 8 hours a day or takes place on weekends and evenings, the countries has standard regulations about overtime and buyouts.

Overtime fees (except for production unit fees) are calculated based on the daily rate. This can vary depending on how many hours of overtime, if shooting on weekends (from Friday at 24.00 till Monday 06.00) and which country we are shooting in.

SWEDEN

The rebate is administered by Tillväxtverket (The Swedish Agency for Economic Growth) on behalf of the Swedish government, and has an annual budget of SEK100m (approximately €9.2m)

The 25% production rebate is open to audiovisual works (feature films, documentaries, drama series and docu series) with production costs incurred locally above SEK4m (€368,000).

To be eligible, productions must take place fully or partly in Sweden, budgets for the projects must be of a minimum SEK30m (€2.7m) for a feature project, SEK10m (€920,000) for a documentary, SEK10m per episode for a drama series, and SEK5m (€460,000) per episode for a docu series.

Support is allocated on a first-come first-served basis and to a maximum of 25% of eligible costs.

ICELAND

All productions for feature films, TV shows, and documentaries are eligible for a 25% refund, no matter the total cost of the project, number of crew members, or shooting days.

The 25% and the 35% rebate applies to all Icelandic costs plus the cost of the incoming cast.

To receive 35% refund, a production must fulfil three requirements:

– Costs incurred in Iceland must be a minimum of ISK 350 million.

– The project must have a minimum of 30 working days in Iceland, consisting of shooting days or post-production days. Of the 30 working days, a minimum of 10 shooting days in Iceland is required.

– The number of staff working directly on the project shall be 50 at a minimum. It is a requirement that payments to those 50 employees shall be taxed in Iceland.

For all productions, when more than 80% of the total production costs are incurred in Iceland, the reimbursement is calculated based on the total production cost incurred within the European Economic Area (EEA).

NORWAY

The 25% cash rebate administered by the Norway Film Institute applies to locally incurred costs for both domestic and international productions.

The minimum spend needed to qualify varies between production types but is currently set at NOK25 million for feature films. The incentive can also be combined with regional funding.

Nordic countries have a unique light, especially in the spring and late summer when the sun travels across the sky at a low angle. However, some choose our long summer days as a plus.

Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are all part of the Schengen agreement, which means visitors from the EEA and Schengen countries don't need a visa for Scandinavia. There's just one exception: Svalbard (in northern Norway).

For European Union citizens, working in a country without a visa is free for six months.

We can tell you if you need a visa to work or travel in Scandinavia if you're from a country outside of the EU and Schengen.

Winters are cold in northern Europe. Nonetheless, the type of weather and how cold it gets varies a lot in Scandinavia. Because of this, it's crucial to know the local conditions, like whether it's going to snow six months a year, rainy and cloudy, or bright and sunny with freezing temperatures.

It's also pretty unpredictable in the summer depending on where in Scandinavia you are. Warmest days are in July or August, when it gets up to 30 degrees Celcius.

Each country has a different length of day too. It is daylight for 18 hours in Denmark during the summer, and between 8-10 hours during the winter.

The summer in Norway is usually darker than the winter and there are fewer daylight hours during the winter.

We can provide you with more specific information about when and where to shoot.

There are three currencies in Scandinavia: Norway = Norska Kronor, Sweden = Svenska Kronor, and Denmark = Danske Kroner. None of them use Euros.
