“From Service Producer to best buddy in Norway in 24hrs?
Lars was already amazing in the preproduction phase. Providing the best locations and logistics in a breeze. Yes, he knows his turf over and under water. On set he was extremly helpful, professional, kind, flexible and very weather resistant. Long days of shooting -Lars was tireless for hunting the best light. Always with a smile. Need a super experienced Drone pilot with an Inspire 3. You found him. Think of a helpful gadget or piece of equipment - Lars has it on board his ID.Buzz.
You are thinking of a shooting in in Norway? Lars is the the man. Hope to be back soon mate.”- Mike Beims, Director & founder The Shack

Do you only need help with parts of the filming?
No problem! We have participated in numerous productions where we assisted with parts of the filming as camera operators, drone pilots, or underwater operators. Perhaps you only need a photographer to take photos suitable for your campaign or behind-the-scenes shots?

Why choose Norway for your next film production?
Norway stands as an unparalleled canvas for film production, offering a diverse range of landscapes from the majestic to the culturally rich. From its iconic fjords, rugged coastline, massive waterfalls, to snow-capped mountain peaks, Norway provides a varied selection of backdrops that can bring any production to life.
One of Norway's most appealing features is its four distinct seasons, each offering unique charm for the filmmaking experience.
Perfect winters with untouched snow, crystal-clear air, and the Northern Lights.
Spring bursts forth with an explosion of color as nature awakens from its winter slumber.
Summer is bathed in endless midnight sun, with a 'golden hour' that lasts for hours.
Autumn explodes in a symphony of colors, painting the landscape with fiery reds and golden yellow hues.
