The deal further cements the partners collaboration which already covers the upcoming Norwegian feature film: Solomamma by director Janicke Askevold and writer Jørgen Færøy Flasnes. The film is set to go into production at the end of 2024.

"From the very beginning of us setting up Bacon Pictures, Scanbox stood out as our preferred distribution partner in Scandinavia. Their diverse slate of films, both covering commercial and arthouse matches our slate like a hand in glove. With their acquisition of Ymer Media, we also look forward to having a strong and close collaboration on the ground in Oslo. Our producers in Denmark have long held Torben and Merete in the highest regards when it comes to developing projects. We are immensely proud of this deal and can’t wait to further develop our slate in collaboration with Scanbox Entertainment."

"We have been in a great dialogue with Bacon Pictures for a long time and they are building a strong slate presenting the perfect combination of commercial and quality upmarket titles, which we look for. We also appreciate how they work on a Nordic level and produce films for both Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This suits our profile and local acquisition strategy very well and we are excited to continue this partnership on the upcoming projects."
