Stark, beautiful, wild and pure; Finland will rock you. A mix of cool urban landscapes under siege by nature in the South, the country gives way to Lapland's uncut rawness far in the Arctic North. Head East and you'll discover a looming organic interior of lake and forest. Cross the border and experience Russia's vastness.

Estar Studios is the only production & service company capable of delivering the Finland experience. Established by world renowned music video and commercial director Antti J. Jokinen, Estar Studios opens the door to exclusive locations and the best crews and production resources in a wild land that lives and breathes high technology.

Incredible locations, elemental landscapes, four very distinct seasons and extraordinary light makes Finland unique for film. Put that together with the best quality production teams and an advanced infrastructure and you get latitude with attitude every time.

Estar Studios can bring you the exotic North with no barriers. We can take you from a busy street in Finland's capital, Helsinki and in less than two hours set you down in a wilderness of incredible raw emptiness and beauty. Still everything works, including your cellphone. Want extra available light for filming? Finland's high latitude ensures that the days are almost continuously bright across the hole country in summertime. At Lapland's northernmost point the sun does not set at all for 73 days during summer.

Interested in locations to the East? We've got locations as dramatic as they are untouched. Cathedrallike forests and freshwater lakes so pure you can drink from them are elements in a landscape literally carved out by glacial forces. Want to take your crew over the border into Russia? We can fast rack your visas and put you in some of the most exotic locations you could wish for. We talk to the decision-makers and government bodies meaning you get what you need faster.
