Nordisk Film is strengthening its position in Sweden by entering a first-look deal with production company Scandinavian Content Group.
The deal covers all feature films in development and production for a three-year period. Scandinavian Content Group is focusing on genre movies for the Swedish market and is behind such titles as “FEED” (2022) and upcoming “Carousel” and “Canceled”.
“We are impressed with Scandinavian Content Group's ambitions and future slate of projects that are aimed at reaching local audiences with strong, current, and fast-paced films. In Nordisk Film, we aim to strengthen our position in Sweden, especially when it comes to delivering great films for the cinemas. Therefore, I am very excited by this collaboration with Scandinavian Content Group as it will further expand our strategic foothold in Sweden,” says Kenneth Wiberg, Senior Vice President, Nordisk Film.
“Through our successful collaboration with Nordisk Film on the award-winning feature "FEED", we realized that we share the same view when it comes to stories, strong local content with an appeal for the international market, and even methodology in producing. Together we have proved that there is no conflict between high quality and a shorter time to market than usual in our industry. In the fast-changing landscape we are operating in, we simply try to do things in a different way. That is why we are incredibly proud of this deal with Nordisk Film,” says Hans Engholm, Managing Director, Scandinavian Content Group.
The first-look deal was negotiated between Executive Producer Börje Hansson of Scandinavian Content Group and VP of Sales & Acquisition Rasmus Krogh of Nordisk Film.
Scandinavian Content Group is currently in production with “Carousel”, directed by Simon Sandquist, starring Omar Rudberg, and “Canceled”, directed by Oskar Mellander, together with influencer and producer Joakim Lundell. They are also in pre-production with an untitled Swedish-Norwegian romcom.
