INFO
Fellonica Film AB is a film and media production company founded by Lars G Lindström in 2021, which Costanza Julia Bani joined in 2023.
With Lars G Lindström coming from broad appeal arthouse produced within one of the strongest companies in the Nordics, Nordisk Film and with Costanza Julia Bani coming from arthouse documentaries produced as international co-productions they created a company where these competences and interests merge.
Both united in the passion of discovering new talent with the right projects attached, with Fellonica Film they want to bring stories to the screen and audience strategizing with unique selling points from the start, offering both leading-edge fiction and documentaries.
Fellonica Film is a new independent production company and consulting agency, whose track record is based on the previous experiences of the producers.
We are currently working on our first slate to be produced in complete autonomy and on a start-up project, which will be a service platform for the film industry and filmmakers.
We believe that not all stories have been told and that there are new angles and new perspectives and an ever changing nature of things that needs to be captured. We are curiosity and all five senses driven, and this is whom we produce for: a curious and sensitive audience. If only audio-visuals could not only make you see and hear, but also smell, taste and touch, we would be there, creating embodied experiences. For now mainly our eyes and ears are wide open.
