The structure for the creative and financial realization of the film was, from a very early stage, planned as an international collaboration. “From the beginning we knew this would be a co-production with Sweden,” Hellström reflects. “I have made many co-productions with Tobias Jansson from the production company Story in Stockholm. This includes t...
As in most cases with co-production support, the funding from Sweden and Finland came with the requirement that the money be spent in those countries. The team thus had to make decisions around the creative input and expenditures of the film. “With a co-production set up among us at Final Cut for Real in Denmark, Story in Sweden and Mouka Filmi in ...
“For instance, we decided on the sound design being made in Finland, despite having a Danish sound designer in place for the production already,” Hellström continues. “The co-production funding made it possible for us to have a collaboration between Danish sound designer Peter Albrechtsen and Finnish sound designer Hekki Kossi. The great thing abou...

The co-production came through the German part of the ARTE structure, via the channel Bayerischer Rundfunk and commissioning editor...

A co-production model can also impact how a film is distributed. “It is of essence that co-production is not only about getting the film made, but also about getting the film distributed,” Hellström asserts. “Having the co-producer serving as an ambassador pushing the film really helps getting a stronger distribution. It simply secures that the fil...
Just as creative forces can complement each other in the creative process for a film, so can different funding structures in the documentary industry—particularly in terms of how they function in different continents. Hellström sees good possibilities in combining the different structures of the funding systems in Europe and US. “They each have the...
When it comes to international co-productions, what does Hellström advise, above all else? “Find co-production partners that you would like to work with for at least 10 years,” she maintains. “As a producer, you have to look beyond the single film and establish a longer-lasting relationship to other producers. You should want to come back and co-pr...
