nffc North Finland Film Commission

Labvakar production company from Latvia visited Oulu on February 19^th – 23^rd. The four-member TV crew arrived Oulu to shoot food program “Kas var būt labāks par šo?” (What could be better than this?).

NFFC coordinated the visit by fixing shooting locations, scheludes, interviews and transportation. The visit was supported by Oulu City Marketing team.

The host of the tv show is Martins Ritins, chef, celebrity and a owner of a five-star-restaurant in Riga. Producer Andra Cerina was pleased to the NFFC arrangements and the content: they got material for 5 episodes instead of planned 3. The crew also included cameraman Edgars Daugavvanags and assistant Janis Kravecs. The Latvians visited the locations such as Oulu Marketplace and the Market Hall, Hailuoto island, reindeer farm in Yli-Ii and numerous local food and grocery producers as well as restaurants.

The episodes of “Kas var būt labāks par šo?” are broadcast on Latvian TV 1 on five following Saturdays starting from 27th February. The videos can be seen in internet video archive Delfi: http://tv.delfi.lv/album/287/
