Aur is an independent production company creating authentic, unpolished and raw stories, nurturing filmmakers, and building the community that holds it all together.

Our original projects

We believe audiences deserve complexity.

That’s why we create character-driven films that refuse to look away from the messy truth of being human and create stories that resonate, not just entertain.

Who we are

Our story

AUR was founded by Christian Søgaard in 2021, initially working with brands and agencies throughout the Nordics. In 2025, Amir Shaheen joined as partner, and we refocused toward original storytelling—building an auteur-driven production studio creating films rooted in honest, emotional, and uncompromising narratives. In 2026, we became three when Petter Grindahl joined the team.

Beyond our own productions, we founded Oslo Filmmakers, a low-key networking community that's growing rapidly into Oslo's most inclusive filmmaker platform. It reflects the same vision that drives our films: create character-driven stories that refuse to look away from the messy truth of being human, and build the community that helps others do the same.
