Why Norway?

Save money

Norwegian crews are known for high on-set efficiency, strong technical competence and experience working on international productions. English is widely spoken, and production culture is lean and solution-oriented.

Crew sizes are often smaller than in many other territories, and rates remain competitive by European standards. Equipment rental and technical services are available at scale, with quality on par with major European hubs.

Save time

Norway has invested heavily in infrastructure. Roads, tunnels, ferries, airports and accommodation networks make even remote landscapes realistically accessible.

With over 50 airports and frequent international connections, productions can move efficiently between locations and combine multiple visual environments within short travel distances.

Go anywhere

From Arctic coastlines and alpine interiors to fjords, forests and urban environments, Norway offers exceptional visual range.

Authorities and local stakeholders are generally production-aware and pragmatic. With proper planning and coordination, productions can access locations that would be logistically prohibitive in many other countries.

Film incentives in Norway

Norway operates a national cash rebate scheme designed to attract international film and high-end TV productions. The incentive is selective and capped, and applications are evaluated based on cultural relevance, production value and economic impact.

Rather than duplicating official guidance, we recommend consulting the authoritative sources below for up-to-date information on eligibility, application processes and deadlines.
Note:
These organizations maintain the latest official criteria and application processes.

Our role

We help productions assess whether Norway — and which region — is the right fit for a given project before budgets and schedules lock.

This includes aligning creative ambition with realistic access, seasonality, logistics and regulatory frameworks, and connecting productions with the right local partners when required. The result is grounded planning without overpromising or unnecessary complexity.
