Service

Arctic to Baltic. One crew. The full incentive strategy

To offer international producers the broadest possible production opportunities in the Nordic–Baltic region, Homeless Bob Production is part of TLSNKI, a cross-border production service connecting Estonia and Finland.

TLSNKI gives producers access to both countries, with one team coordinating the work. It expands the choice of locations and crews while opening up financing and production incentives across both territories.

TLSNKI is run by producers. We have sat on your side of the table. We know how to make the numbers work – and how to find the combination that puts as much of your budget as possible on screen.

The region offers a remarkable geographical and architectural range within relatively short distances – from Helsinki and Tallinn, the Baltic coast, archipelagos, historic towns, and ancient forests to the remote landscapes of Lapland and the Arctic.

Arctic wilderness · Frozen fells · Midnight sun · Mirror lakes · Northern lights · Island archipelagos · Art Nouveau · Medieval stone · Soviet concrete · Glass towers · Untouched Baltic shores · Ancient forests · Industrial wastelands

Productions can work in either country or combine both, depending on the needs of the project.

Homeless Bob Production has extensive experience working with international productions in Estonia and abroad, collaborating with partners from a wide range of countries.

Recent service productions include E. L. Katz’s Azrael, written by Simon Barrett, produced by Dan Kagan, Simon Barrett and Dave Caplan, and starring Samara Weaving. The US production was shot in Estonia with a predominantly local crew.

We also provided full production services for Cru Ennis and Lee Roy Kunz’s Deliver Us for World’s Fair Pictures, shot by cinematographer Isaac Bauman and starring Thomas Kretschmann and Alexander Siddig. Filmed in the Estonian winter, the production made extensive use of local landscapes and locations to create its bleak, winterbound atmosphere.

As the Estonian partner in TLSNKI, Homeless Bob Production provides full-service production support – from early development and production planning through post-production and final delivery. We work either entirely within Estonia or, together with our Finnish partners, across both countries.
