Dag Hvaring, Chief Executive Officer at Studio City Norway said: "This partnership with Bild Studios ensures we are at the forefront of the most advanced production technology and expertise. The MARS Academy curriculum has been designed and supported by virtual production expert professionals with a wealth of experience who will continue to support the provision of the programme in Norway. Courses are specifically designed to arm participants with the knowledge, know-how and confidence to walk on set and add value to any virtual production."

Gareth Kirkman, Business and Industry Development UK at The British Film Commission said: "As demand for film and TV production in the UK continues to rise, it is essential that key industry areas, such as virtual production, can access the necessary skills and training to accelerate growth. It is fantastic to see opportunities like MARS Academy offering world-class, vocational virtual production training to sustain the UK's status as a leading production hub for film and TV.

"We're delighted to see the expansion extending to Norway. In light of the British Film Commission's signing of a Memorandum of Understanding this week with the Norwegian Film Commission, this is a great first example of the importance of the collaboration between our two nations."
