- The aim of this chapter is to document and analyse participants’ experiences and understandings of the development and production processes involved in an international television co-production – an Icelandic language crime series made for an international audience. A series of unstructured interviews were carried out with key members of the development and production crew. These interviews were transcribed and analysed and additional interviews were undertaken to explore in more detail some of the initial themes that emerged. After further analysis and interpretation, a final set of key themes was established, which are discussed in this chapter. The chapter highlights the impact that experiential factors, such as personal relationships, particular collaborative practices, and shared and contrasting cultural understandings, had on the processes of development and production within the project. The research is broadly situated in the field of production studies. It both focuses on a particular national context of idea development and production and constitutes an enquiry into concerns and issues that relate to international co- production and processes of creative collaboration more generally. Its primary findings are that those involved in the production felt that particular and non-standard aspects of the development and production processes were crucial in enabling and encouraging successful collaborative creative work. The chapter also draws attention to the way that lack of access to international social and professional networks can exclude non dominant small nations from the global screen industries and provides a case study of how these issues were overcome.
