A Note From Our Host
Having five well-seasoned location scouts visiting Stockholm
was a wonderful experience. We saw a bit of the city, but our
goal was to emphasise the diversity of looks in the Archipelago;
the highly cinematic, barren, harsh-looking environments that
would lend themselves more to "Nordic Noir" (a la Bergman) vs.
the lush green landscapes for which Stockholm is so well known.
The locations we toured feel as if they are in "the middle of
nowhere" yet they are accessible by boat or sometimes cars or
even commuter buses. Most have good broadband and solid
hotel and restaurant options nearby.
The scouts got to meet some of our location service companies,
and to give us much-desired input on how international location
scouts work and what they look for. For this, we held a seminar
with representatives from the local government and film-friendly
organisations that were eager to listen and learn. The generosity
of the scouts was vast, and lots of war stories were shared.
Next time, we plan to show a bit more of the hidden, "ugly" and
cinematic places that are also a part of Stockholm's great variety
of locations.
All-in-all, it was a great trip. Our guests got a good sense of the
locations we can offer and a good look at our local denizens,
including deer, elks, fallow deers, eagles and seals. While we
can't always guarantee the wildlife, we can guarantee cinematic
and unique locations for filming in any season … so dress
appropriately and be sure to bring your bathing suit (or not)
for a good sauna after your shoot!
