Services

Production, planned and costed to the last day.

Ursus Parvus produces and line-produces films in Iceland, with a producer who owns the budget, lands the deals, and carries the work from first plan to final delivery.

Good producing is mostly foresight.

We plan the shoot, build the budget, and hold the line on cost, so directors keep their attention on the film and financiers keep their confidence in the numbers.

Production services

Full producing and line production for features, documentaries and shorts shooting in Iceland.

Producing & planning

Development, scheduling and the practical plan that turns a script into a shoot that actually happens.

Budgeting & cost control

We build the budget and own it, tracking spend, protecting the contingency, and keeping the film on its numbers from prep to delivery.

Deals & vendor management

Crew, cast, locations and suppliers, negotiated for value and managed across the whole production.

Line production

Local crew, permits, logistics and a registered Icelandic entity for incoming productions, run day to day on the ground.

Marketing & release

A film does not sell itself. We position it, time its launch, and carry it to the audience it was made for.

Positioning

The angle, the audience and the release plan, decided early.

Festival & launch

Premiere strategy and the timing that builds word of mouth.

Campaign materials

Key art, trailers and press kits to one coherent identity.

Press & partnerships

Media relations and the network that opens the right rooms.

Locations

Glaciers, black sand, lava fields and long northern light, a continent of landscape within a few hours of a full crew base in Reykjavík.

Scouting & accessFinding the right place, and the permits and logistics to shoot it.

Local knowledgeA decade of relationships with landowners, councils and vendors.

Icelandic landscape

Production in Iceland

Iceland reimburses 25 to 35% of your local spend.

We line-produce on the ground and handle the incentive end to end, so the saving is real, not theoretical.

Estimate the rebate

A producer's eye, not an agency's template.

We have produced our own films from Reykjavík to Sundance, Toronto and Tallinn, owning every budget along the way. We bring that same discipline, and that judgement, to the work we produce for others.
