Jabfilm is a production
company for Film, TV and
Multimedia. |
|
Producer, John Arvid
Berger has 20 years of
diverse experience
within film and TV
production. The company
was established in
Tromsø, Norway in 1995.
At the moment we have 3
employees in the company
in addition to a well
developed network of
freelancers and
resources. We believe
our strength as a
company lies within our
foundation in filmmaking
and how stories are
communicated through
image and sound. This in
a combination with a
great experience of
working with digital
workflow and being up to
date on new formats and
distribution types. We
wish to work with
projects of social
value, as well as
projects with a
commercial and corporate
angle. Sometimes the
genre is fiction,
sometimes documentary.
