Who are we?
We are actors, designers, photographers, directors, technicians, editors, producers, storytellers, scriptwriters, dancers, and more who want to share ideas and develop our potential as filmmakers. We want to develop our stories, as told on a screen, to be significant for all peoples, cultures, countries and the world at large.
Nowhere in Norway will you find quite the same kind of society, with such a wide variety of workshops and courses to enhance your skills in developing, producing, editing film, TV and theatre concepts.
“This collective may quite simply be the future of filmmaking in Norway.”
We intend to create more such free spaces: to be the dominant hot-spot for collective productions and learning, and we want to invite you to join our community.

Using her flaws for good she has planned many different productions and loves every minute of it. Kamilla started working as a production manager for PurpleDragons in the new series Bring Down The House in 2019. She quickly fell in love with the way PurpleDragons run their company and is honored to be a shareholder.
