ABOUT NYARK MEDIA

NyArk Media is an independent Icelandic production company founded in Reykjavík in 2016 by award winning producer and filmmaker Anna Sæunn Ólafsdóttir.

We bring together the right people, knowledge and resources for each project - from original storytelling and creative development to complete production services in Iceland.

Small enough to stay personal. Experienced enough to take responsibility. Connected enough to make things happen.

Let’s make something together. Book a call today here.

Independent by design. Collaborative by nature.

Built around a flexible, producer-led model, NyArk Media brings together the right people for each production rather than operating with a fixed in-house crew. Through a trusted network of Icelandic filmmakers, technicians, creatives, suppliers and production partners, the company can scale from small, agile shoots to larger international productions.

This allows NyArk Media to remain personal and hands - on while offering the resources and expertise each project requires.

Our work spans original film and television, documentary, commercial and branded productions, as well as production services for international clients filming in Iceland. We have worked on productions by Netflix, Warner Brothers and National Geographic as well as been local partner for fashion and commercial brands etc..

ANNA SÆUNN ÓLAFSDÓTTIR

Founder · Producer · Director

Anna Sæunn Ólafsdóttir is an Icelandic producer and filmmaker with more than a decade of experience across film, television and international production.

Her background spans producing, line producing, production management, fixing, directing and development, giving her an unusually broad understanding of both the creative and practical sides of filmmaking.

Anna founded NyArk Media in 2016 and has since worked across Icelandic and international productions ranging from independent films and documentaries to television, commercials, fashion and branded content.

As a producer, she specialises in taking projects from an initial idea or brief and turning them into workable productions; building budgets and teams, finding locations, solving logistics and bringing together the creative and operational sides of a project.

Her producing work includes Geltu!, winner of the Edda, Icelandic Film Award for Best Children's and Youth Film in 2025.

Anna has also served as President of Women in Film and Television Iceland, and in 2022 was selected among the ten finalists for JCI Iceland's Outstanding Young Icelanders.

Her background additionally includes acting and screen performance, which continues to inform her work with directors, actors and casting.

A COMPANY BUILT AROUND COLLABORATION

NyArk Media doesn't believe every production needs the same team.

Instead, we build around the project.

Depending on the production, we work with producers, production managers, assistants, drivers, location specialists, cinematographers, photographers, casting professionals, production designers, fixers and other specialists from our network in Iceland and internationally.

For our clients and creative partners, we remain the central production point, assembling and coordinating the people, knowledge and resources needed to make the project happen.

This structure allows us to stay agile, transparent and personally involved while scaling according to the needs of each production.

WHAT MATTERS TO US

NyArk Media was founded with an interest in stories capable of creating awareness, curiosity and social impact.

That remains part of who we are.

We believe filmmaking benefits from different perspectives and actively support greater participation and leadership by underrepresented voices within the industry.

But above all, we believe in good work and good collaboration: treating crews fairly, communicating clearly, using resources responsibly and building relationships that last beyond a single production.
