Dagsljus Filmequipment

What Dagsljus Filmequipment does

Dagsljus Filmequipment (the Stockholm operating unit of Dagsljus Group) is a Swedish film equipment rental and post-production provider serving Scandinavian and international film and television productions. Following its 2024-12-10 integration into Storyline Studios, it operates alongside the wider Storyline/Dagsljus Group/Angel Films/Falsett platform that runs seven sites across six Nordic and Baltic countries — Stockholm (HQ), Oslo, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Reykjavik, and Tallinn — under the legal entity Storyline Studios STO AB.

The company offers a horizontally integrated production services stack: equipment rental (cameras, lighting, grip, accessories), studio rental (Studio 1 and Studio 2 in Stockholm), full post-production capabilities including editing, color grading, sound, and VFX, professional crew placement, flexible production offices, plus specialist services such as 24/7 equipment support, in-house lens maintenance and repair, and ATA-Carnet customs handling for international productions. Customer cohorts are horizontally segmented across TV Drama, international co-productions, and productions of all sizes from independent projects to large broadcast work.

The revenue model is quote-based and project-tied rather than SaaS or subscription, with each production receiving a tailored package across equipment, studio time, post-production hours, crew, and workspace. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led with account-based field sales across the region, complemented by an online account-opening flow, a multi-channel content presence (website, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, newsroom/press releases), and partnership referrals through Dagsljus Group, Angel Films, and Falsett. The platform's primary structural advantage is its multi-country physical footprint plus nearly a century of operating history dating back to Oslo in 1932, which it leverages as a one-stop production-partner hub for cross-border Nordic-Baltic shoots.
