Whatevergroup and Mutant Koala Pictures Form Whatever Pictures, Readying to ‘Answer to New Challenges of the Funding Situation in Finland’ (Exclusive)

Finland’s production companies Whatevergroup – known for Elisa Viihde’s crime series “Evilside” – and Mutant Koala Pictures have merged, launching Whatever Pictures.

Described as a film and TV production company and scripted studio “with global ambition and northern soul,” it will see these “two Finnish scripted indies working side by side in the country’s far north,” focusing on original productions, co-productions, providing production services and post-production coordination.

Headquartered in Oulu, Whatever Pictures will “blend tech-savvy entrepreneurial drive with the grit of the Arctic” and draw inspiration from the “extreme environments of its surroundings; the harsh winters, midnight sun and untamed wilderness.
