‘Loveable’ Producer Thomas Robsahm on His Slate and Norway’s Best Kept Secret: Talent Hotbed Filmskapere (EXCLUSIVE)
Norwegian producer Thomas Robsahm ('Loveable,' 'The Worst Person in the World') on his successful talent development program Filmskapere.
Going back to the program’s inception, The versatile Robsahm, whose artistic endeavors have ranged from punk music songwriting and acting to filmmaking and producing, said his initial goal was two-fold: to fill a void in the market in terms of development money available to talent -both newcomers and established, and to lift his film nation to a high-class international level by trusting talents on the long term, letting them freely experiment with their creativity, to ultimately create the best film-or script- possible. What distinguishes Filmskapere from other traditional schemes is that support takes different shapes, with some talents going directly to writing a script, developing a short after film school, or a low-budget feature, or spending time working with cinematographers and actors. Going forward, Robsahm said he hopes Filmskapere will “lead to more development of talents that are freer, and more continuity in the delivery of high-quality Norwegian films.
