GPN ENTERTAINMENT
As you may have noticed, over the past few years GPN has been evolving and expanding into new and exciting film territories within the film industry. After successfully launching our Tabletop division and welcoming VTR studios into our network, we are now proud to introduce our latest venture: GPN Entertainment.
This new division connects 20 award-winning production companies that have already made waves in the industry, producing and service producing high-end live reality shows, scripted and non-scripted content, and even some of Hollywood’s most iconic films- Mission Impossible, Snowden, the Last King of Scotland, Lara Croft, Her and House of Gucci, to name just a few. Now, we are extending that expertise to long-format content, with the goal of making every producer’s life easier when it comes to shooting abroad and finding the perfect partners for their projects.
GPN Entertainment was a vision Julia had even before COVID, and now, after several years of preparation, we’re ready to make it a reality. Leading this exciting new chapter for GPN is none other than our long-term partner from Iceland, Rafnar Hermannsson, owner of Frostfilm. Rafnar has always been a trusted figure within GPN, and producers frequently turn to him for advice when planning shoots abroad, knowing that they can rely on his experience and deep industry knowledge.
Rafnar begins his tour in LA, specifically to Hollywood, where he will have meetings with several large production houses. This is only the beginning. He will also be connecting with streamers, producers, clients and more. He’ll be introducing GPN Entertainment to a wider audience, highlighting how our close-knit network of top industry professionals can help simplify the complext world of long-format production.
Rafnar himself has been involved with GPN for the past 18 years. He was first with Iceland’s True North and then founded Frostfilm in 2019 and continued his partnership with GPN. Iceland has a steady stream of everything film-related: commercials, TV shows, feature films, documentaries, music videos, and even independent photography. Rafnar has been involved in all of this and more. His film career spans over twenty years and he has worked with top directors and actors in both long format and commercials. He knows firsthand how to pitch a project and understands the unique advantages that GPN brings to international productions. His expertise is crucial in positioning GPN Entertainment as the go-to partner for long-format production worldwide.
LA is the first stop on this journey, and understandably so. Later this winter, he will set up meetings in New York and also step into the European market via Berlin and London. His mission is clear: to build new connections, expand GPN’s reach, unlock a world of opportunities for long-format filmmakers, and give GPN members more collaborative possibilities.
We couldn’t be more excited about this next step. GPN has been a leader in production service for many years, and now, with Rafnar paving the way, GPN Entertainment will take us to the next level. The possibilities, projects, and immeasurable creativity that this new division of GPN will open up for all of us are limitless and we’re thrilled to have Rafnar leading this exciting new venture.
Stay tuned- we’re just getting started!
