Nordisk Film Shortcut - Norway

What Nordisk Film Shortcut - Norway does

Nordisk Film Shortcut AS is a Norwegian post-production facility headquartered in Oslo, operating as part of the Nordisk Film Group ecosystem. Founded in 2010, the company provides end-to-end film and TV post-production services including editing, sound design, color grading, VFX, ADR/dubbing, online finishing, and mastering/QC for features, TV series, commercials, and documentaries. The facility occupies a converted factory building near the city center and comprises 12 daylight editing suites, four grading suites, a 7.1 mixing cinema, two 7.1 pre-mix studios, an Atmos HE mixing studio, two ADR/voice recording studios, and nine sound design studios, with more than ten experienced sound designers and three in-house colorists on a 23-person team.

The technology stack is built on industry-standard professional tools — DaVinci Resolve for color grading, Avid/Adobe editing suites, shared storage enabling remote and hybrid editing, and Dolby Atmos HE for immersive audio. The company delivers against recognized Scandinavian broadcast and theatrical standards, including 4K DCP for theatrical and OTT-optimized mastering for streaming, and has contributed to internationally awarded productions including the Palme d'Or-winning Triangle of Sadness (sound editing via Imperative Entertainment).

The business model is B2B professional services, with project-based pricing quoted directly to production companies, broadcasters, and advertising agencies. Marketing is overwhelmingly relational — portfolio/showreel website plus referral networks within the Norwegian and Scandinavian production industry — and distribution is direct, with no intermediaries. Recurring customer base spans Norwegian broadcasters (NRK, TV2), major local production companies (Maipo Film, Motion Blur, Yellow Bird, Fantefilm, Cinenord, Qvisten Animation), and brand advertisers (Rema 1000, Telenor, DNB). Geographic scope is Scandinavia with selective international co-production work enabled by remote-grade capabilities.
