Production Service in Finland
High-End Scandi Visuals, Mid-Range Costs
Finland is the Nordic region’s best-kept secret for high-value production. It offers the same ethereal “Midnight Sun” and pristine Arctic wilderness as its neighbors, but with a significantly more favorable cost structure. Net production costs in Finland are decidedly lower than in Norway, Sweden, or Denmark; yet you retain the world-class technical infrastructure and English-speaking crew depth that the region is famous for.
The Financial Hook: Finland offers a 25% cash rebate on all local spend (ATL and BTL), which can be combined with regional top-ups to reach an effective 40% in specific areas like Lapland or North Karelia. As an ATA Carnet and EU member, logistics are seamless, allowing for easy movement of specialized gear from major European hubs.
The Reality Check: While more affordable than other Nordics, Finland carries a higher price floor than the Baltics. You aren’t just paying for the location; you are paying for an elite crew base that is arguably the most experienced in the world at filming in sub-zero conditions.
Our Expertise: We specialize in “Cold-Climate Logistics.” We manage the mandatory Finnish production coordinator requirements for the rebate and bridge the gap between Helsinki’s tech-hubs and the remote Arctic North. We ensure you get the premium Nordic look without the premium Nordic price tag.
Let’s discuss the details of your next project to determine if Finland is a good fit.
