Fantefilm Fiksjon

What Fantefilm Fiksjon does

Fantefilm Fiksjon AS is a privately held Norwegian film and television production company established in 2005 as a sister entity to the parent Fantefilm advertising production house. The company operates three core divisions: Reklame (advertising films, 25+ years of brand-side work for Norwegian and Scandinavian enterprises), Fiksjon (genre-based theatrical feature films, with a catalog of 17+ titles since 2006 spanning horror, disaster, fantasy, and family genres), and Scripted Series (established 2022 to produce long-form fiction for streaming platforms). Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, securing commissions directly from streaming platforms (notably Netflix under a Flagship strategic partnership), enterprise brand advertisers, and domestic theatrical distributors. Revenue is generated through project-based production fees, one-time licensing for film and series rights, and professional services contracts for commercials.

The company's core competency is genre storytelling — distinctive, high-concept productions within recognizable frameworks (e.g., the Fritt Vilt horror franchise, disaster film Bølgen, and Netflix series La Palma). It maintains a roster of award-winning directors (Marius Holst, Jarand Herdal, and others) and a producer/partner leadership structure (Lasse Greve Alsos as CEO of Scripted Series, Martin Sundland as Fiksjon partner, Hugo Hagemann Føsker as Reklame partner). Distribution is multi-modal: theatrical release in Norway for feature films, global Netflix streaming for scripted series, and direct-to-brand delivery for advertising work. The company publishes a Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) statement covering human rights due diligence in its value chain.

No funding rounds, external institutional investors, public listing, or material AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in the available data. The business is founder/partner-owned with approximately a dozen named staff across producer, line production, marketing, and post-production roles. Operational headquarters are in Norway, serving Scandinavia with global streaming reach via Netflix.

Regional players

• Film i Väst: Swedish regional production hub co-producing major features and series. Comparable as a Nordic production entity, though operating primarily in Sweden rather than Norway.

• Storm Films: Norwegian production company producing feature films and series (including Netflix originals). Directly comparable to Fantefilm Fiksjon as a Norwegian fiction producer with international streaming reach.
• Yellow Bird Sweden: Swedish production company behind major Nordic scripted series (e.g., Millennium trilogy, Wallander). Comparable to Fantefilm Scripted Series as a Nordic producer of high-profile scripted series for international buyers.
• Maipo Film: Norwegian production company producing feature films and TV drama. Comparable as a domestic Norwegian production peer with similar genre/drama orientation and theatrical output.
• Anagram Norway: Part of the Anagram Group, producing Nordic scripted series and features. Comparable as a Nordic scripted-series production company serving streaming platforms.

• Tre Vänner: Swedish production company producing feature films and series in the Nordic market. Comparable as a similarly sized Nordic genre/drama producer.

Broad incumbents

• Nordisk Film Production: Denmark's largest film and TV production group with broad portfolio across features, series, and commercials. Comparable as a Nordic production incumbent, though operating at much greater scale and breadth than Fantefilm.
• SF Studios: Swedish production and distribution company producing Nordic feature films and series for global markets. Comparable as a Nordic feature/scripted producer with theatrical distribution capability.

Others

• Netflix International Originals: Customer/buyer rather than direct competitor, but Netflix's growing in-house production capability makes it both a key channel and indirect competitor for Nordic production talent and IP.
