ICELAND
We are still here, safe and sound and hope you are too
Here at the Hero Productions facility in Reykjavik, we are re-aligning our schedules to the regulations from the Icelandic government regarding the outbreak of Covid-19 Pandemic. Our hearts are now with the thousands of individuals worldwide who are suffering with this devastating disease and their friends and families.
Thankfully, the actions and responses of Iceland’s director of health seem to be working beyond our greatest hopes and it appears that Iceland has reached its peak of the outbreak, giving us a reason to be cautiously optimistic from this point on.
Iceland is now an even emptier wasteland
Due to the foreign travel restrictions to Iceland, the whole country is now literally empty and offers a unique opportunity, even more so than normal and that’s saying something. The biggest tourist attractions and hotspots are now free of all human interference in pristine surroundings.
Hero has access to state of the art camera equipment that can be utilised by, local crews capturing scenes and landscapes never thought possible in complete safety and according to all government containment rules and health regulations.
By planning ahead to film in Iceland this year is beneficial for everyone and using the low exchange rate and prices of lodgings and Car rentals, would not be a bad idea is it?
Embracing new restrictions
And is for now, we are allowing social groups to be up to 50 people, so the film industry is actually ongoing on full force. Studios and production houses now need to embrace a new reality in times of an opponent facing all mankind. This reality enforces a new set of rules on the production industry to ensure safety for all individuals.
We at Hero want to use those rules as an opportunity to exercise our creativity in film, tv and ad productions streaming and focus on new solutions to drive safe content creation in Iceland.
Using restrictions as an innovative force is our forté and the current situation is no exception.
So what does that mean?
While big-scale productions are on hold during these times of unprecedented crisis it does not equal a complete halt in storytelling and advertising but only new ways of delivering them. Hero productions are here to facilitate new initiatives in Icelandic productions management making sure that in these difficult times new horizons are within reach. We are here for you.
Lets all stay strong and care for each other
