ABOUT

Established in 2022, GRÓ Studios is the first film and television studio of its kind in the Faroe Islands, involved in all aspects of development through production and distribution. The studio is a joint venture between creator, writer and executive producer Torfinnur Jákupsson and producer Jón Hammer. The producing duo were the Faroese driving force behind the first ever series set in the Faroes - award-winning eco-crime drama TROM, available on Viaplay, DR, BBC, ZDF/Arte, AMC+ and SBS among others. 

GRÓ works closely with the Nordic and international industry. We focus on local talent and local stories with a strong sense of genre and setting, written and produced for a global audience. With a publishing and post-production department, GRÓ also specializes in IP rights, original composition, music production and supervision. 

​

Following the international success of TROM, GRÓ has developed a fast-growing slate of high-end series in addition to feature films and documentaries.
