    Hi,

    I don´t know if you are willing to shoot in Europe but if you do we have plenty of quirky soccer organisations in villages and remote places in Norway and a lot of them are so far they play in the snow.

    Let me know if you want to know more.

    All the best,

    Hey,

    I am a location scout/manager based in Norway. I went to film school in the US and have lived and worked in LA, Chicago and NY as well as many European countries.

    I´ve been doing location scouting/managment for commercials, tv shows and feature films for over 10 years. I was location manager on the Norwegian blockbuster feature “The Troll Hunter” that was sold to countries around the world. I also did location management on the biggest budget and highest rated tv drama in norwegian history called “The Heavy Water War”. A WW2 based drama also sold all over the world. I have also done a lot of commercials as location scout/manager, the biggest one being the European market commercial for Ford Mondeo, directed by Rob Cohen (Fast & The Furious, xXx etc).

    I have also been involved with expeditions to arctic regions.

    I have included pics of 4 views from Norway, including the view from “The Pulpit Rock” which Lonely Planet named “the most beautiful view in the world.” If you give me an email address I will be happy to send you more pictures as well as my full resume and references if you need it.

    I would be delighted to be able to help you out with your project in any way I can.

    Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    All the best,
    Tommy Wike

    Hi,

    I would like to suggest Norway for you. There are several areas that are interesting but I would like to emphasize the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway. Aboslutely spectacular scenery. A group of Islands strething from mainland Norway into the ocean. White sandy beaches, dramtic cliffs/mountains and charming small towns.

    I have done several shoots there, including helicopter shoots. Permits are easy and the locals welcome international productions.

    Feel free to contact me.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    This option is located in Norway, only a short drive from Oslo. It is not very big but has a different feel than most “western towns”. They have huge fiels with horse ranges and a farm that makes saddles and “cowboy clothes/gear”.
