Our staff is experienced and dedicated, respecting all projects, from the small and simple to the most complex feature. We’ve been making films for almost forty years. At Sagafilm we love what we do; it’s a way of life. ICELAND
Iceland is volcanic and geologically active, a paradise of endless location possibilities. The interior boasts a vast plateau of sand and lava fields with mountains and gla
ciers. Glacial rivers rush through the lowlands to the sea. Daylight around the clock? Natural hot springs, magical mists, roaring waterfalls? These are just some of the possibilities presented in Iceland and many of these scenarios are a only a short distance away from the capital city of Reykjavik. A feast for your eyes and senses, Iceland’s often surreal reality exists and is perfectly located for your production needs. FINANCING THAT REWARDS YOU
The Icelandic Government offers a 25% rebate on all production costs incurred for feature films, TV productions and documentaries. To make things even easier, we will charge you 75% for our services and collect the rest from the State Treasury ourselves when they have finished the paperwork – which we help you fill out. This is probably the easiest 25% financing you’ve ever received. In addition to the 25% tax rebate, we have contact with investors interested in financing feature films and TV programs. Projects are evaluated individually based on the investor’s interest. Often we are able to find an additional 10-15% funding for the projects we participate in. ICELANDIC DIRECTORS
In 2013 Sagafilm produced more than thirty big ad campaigns. Our directors have years of experience working with some of the biggest brands in the world, as well as emerging ones. Gudjon Jonsson
Gudjon has been called the Swiss Army knife of Icelandic directors – if an idea seems impossible, he will tell you how it can be done. He has directed campaigns for international companies such as Vodafone, Icelandair, and Shell, as well as some of the biggest Icelandic banks and insurance companies. POST PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES
Sagafilm’s post production department can literally scale mountains and slay dragons. We’ve got fully-equipped off- and on-line editing suites, colour correction, sound, and graphics suites, as well as the professional staff to insure your post production goes smoothly. We offer post for your whole film, or part of it. In addition, you can take advantage of our suites, offices and/or technical assistance and advice while prepping, shooting and finishing. As far as emotional support when needed, we go the extra mile. LOG LINE
