Finland’s primary telephone and mobile company, Telia Sonera, commissioned production company Also Starring to film two TV commercials with Finnish stars, Mikko Semi, Sara Sieppi, and Minna Eskola.

Having worked with ITALYfixer in the past (on a commercial for Kotipizza), the produers at Also Starring knew ITALYfixer would find them great filming locations and provide the production services they needed.

The Producer wanted locations ranging from the moon’s surface to a Caribbean beach, a Milan fashion catwalk and a Finnish café – we found them, and all within a one-hour drive of their hotel in Viareggio! Fabio Di Segni organized the logistics of the shoot: put together a highly professional English-speaking local crew, arranged equipment hire, and auditioned extras. Our local crew included a stylist for the costumes, and a hair and make-up artist for the celebrity talent from Finland. We managed the budget and negotiated access and film permits. And, of course, our bilingual crew and translation services helped all communication run smoothly!
