AUR is an “author-driven” production company in Oslo.
We develop and produce our own original projects for TV and Film, as well as collaborate with brands and agencies on advertising and content.
(1) We were founded because we wanted the trust and freedom to create what we're passionate about. (2) We are a hybrid – a creative production company that makes films, and a communitybuilder that empowers filmmaking culture in Oslo. (3) We follow the instinct that drives us to create projects that evoke emotions, start conversations, and endure.
This shapes everything we do.
