Hi folks! I am a Norwegian writer and film director based in More and Romsdal (North west coast of Norway). I have mainly written, directed and produced short films (check my profile for credits), but now I am writing some feature films. My region is the perfect location for epic mountains and fjords. It is like New Zealand on steroids. Several films have been shoot in this area, like the end scene of The danish girl, Alex Garlands Ex Machina, The wave by Roar Uthaug etc. And f you want to collaborate on scripts, let me know. I have loads of ideas! Take care, and I can't wait to hear from you guys!

It sure is, They've got regular competitions for various genres in the Happy Writers section, along with regular pitch sessions, for you to pitch your script, and/or talent. I wish I had heard of this site a 'l o n g' time ago, I might have been more developed now. Then again, life has given me invaluable lessons and experience to capitalize on, so it is hard to say. I noticed, that both Iceland and Norway, have increased their tax relief for film making in their countries, from 20% to 25%, and France is up to 30%, I guess they want the business (Especially Iceland after the banks collapsed (good job their not like the Netherlands, else they would have been flooded (but that would be river banks (they are the only ones, that didn't collapse in Iceland)))).

Willkommen Ole-Andrè as we say in Germany. :) You see you are already surrounded by neighbors. Great to have you with us. If you are interested in collaboration feel free... All the best for your projects!
Thanks Sigurjon and Elisabeth!
Helgi, Yes, there is loads of beautiful women, and the best one is mine.=) Thanks for the tip of Happy Writer section. Will check it out! Yes, they are launching incentives and The snowman produced by Universal, and Alexander Paynes Downsizing is the two first productions to get it. But there is some hick ups, and the production companies have to apply to get the tax refund, instead of that it happens automatically. But there is many who is working to get a better solutions. Elisabeth, I'll PM you.=)
Hi Ole - I have a script website johnmaudlin.wix.com/writing if you want to see if my style complements yours - you may be interested in the teleplays. Both have killer last page twists. Send me some of ours if you want
That's Yours not ours! Link hasn't activated it you may need to cut and paste and put http:/ in front
What is the Norwegian screenwriting scene is like? Norwegian films we see here are usually serious, kind of dark. Why is that? No comedies or action comedies? Or don't we just get any here?
Michael Priv , two years later. Very little action comedies, some comedies, but what travels from Norway is often a bit dark and serious. Now there are several WWII movies.
I don't know. It might be the climate. It affects us.
