    Hi Caspaar,

    Did you find a fixer for your project yet?

    I just finished scouting for a feature and have time off to help you right away if you want. If you send me some info on what you are looking for I will go through my archive and see if I have something that suits your needs and if I don´t I can find it for you.

    Although I am based in Oslo, I was born up north and still have lots of family there and I´ve been doing productions there on a regular basis and know the area very well. Just during the last year I have helped American and German production companies shoot in Northern Troms and the Lofoten Area. We filmed the native Sami people with their reindeer herds on summer pasture up in the mountains as well as local fishermen on their fishing trawlers and genereal scenic shots of the coast and mountains.

    I´ve been having some server problems with my company email so you can email me at tommywike@gmail.com or call me on +47 97174718.

    All the best,
    Tommy Wike

    Hi,

    I am a location scout/manager in Norway. I used to live in the US and am travelling to the US on Thursday and will stay there for over a month. I could easily do this recce for you if you give me a list of what you´re looking for. I would take care of my own flight to Anchorage as long as you pay the hotel/rental car.

    My latest credits include two productions for American Production Companies, including a European campaign for Ford and I will be happy to give you references if you require.

    All the best,

    All the best.

    Hi,

    The area around Lofoten in Northern Norway has many white sandy beaches with turqois water. What makes these beaches stand out is that they are surrounded by spectacular mountains.

    Feel free to contact me for further info. I have many contacts in the region and can set up the production with whatever you require.

    Hi Ted,

    I believe you should look into shooting in Norway.
    We have 2 summer ski resorts that are currently open and usually stay open until mid/late July. Both are located in western Norway. Snow conditions are really good this year due to a long and cold winter.

    Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more about these possibilities and I will be happy to assist you. I can offer cost effective scouting and full service production if needed.

    Best regards,

    Hi Joy Scott,

    I like to offer my services for your upcoming production in Norway.

    I work as a freelance line producer and producer. Among my latest credits is producing a factual travel programme series for the biggest commercial broadcaster in Norway (TV2). I have lived/worked in the US so my English is fluent. I have extensive experience with service productions, including jobs for Radical Media London and Disney Channel UK.

    I work together with one of the most experienced location scouts/managers in Norway. This means we have access to a huge location/contact archive. My colleague has been involved with location scouting/management on several projects related to travel in Norway.

    We will be happy to assist you with a cost effective way of solving all your needs, and we are confident we have the right experience to help you generate interesting ideas as well as giving you an insiders guide to Norway. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Regards,
