Storytellers

The entire ACT4 team are experienced screenwriters. Having been through the process of making a seedling of an idea grow into work on the big screen more than a few times, we know that the development process is elemental to the success of any project. That´s why we believe in putting our full support behind our creatives, financially as well as in spirit.

Numbers based

In order for the creative work to make it up on the screen, it has to be accurately financed and produced. We have extensive experience in financing productions. Aside from our in-house jester and party planner, Ólafur Darri, the team is pretty boring and consists of two lawyers and a guy with a business degree. So naturally, all our projects are carefully planned and executed from the earliest stage. That means really good financial planning. We’re proud to say that our spreadsheets have impressed many and therefore spread spreadsheet joy which is an excel-lent joy.

Cooperation

The Icelandic film industry is growing and has an international presence. Iceland may be an island - but no production company is an island. Our ever-growing international network of co-producers and talents is something that we strive to involve in our projects. With Iceland’s 35% rebate on film production, we are in a great position to offer our friends and partners (and those who want to be friends with us) the opportunity to work with us on projects filmed in Iceland.

Experience

In the past few years our team members have worked on some of the biggest Icelandic film and TV projects, both on the executive and production level. In these projects, our team members are credited as executive producers, producers, creators, writers, lawyers and actors. Many of these projects have enjoyed international success and been awarded numerous prizes (not that we’re counting, it´s just really nice to get prizes and then pretend that you don´t care. And we don´t. Not really. Prizes are great. ).

Responisbility

A film production is nothing without it´s people (and animals), in front of the camera as well as behind it. We will strive to treat our partners and employees with equality, respect and confidentiality. And the environment. It will be our mission to keep our productions as environmentally friendly as possible. Basically we would like everyone and everything to just get along, but in case that doesn´t work, we will have a plan and act with integrity.
