About Outlier Projects.
Outlier Projects (formerly Kykmyndir) is an independent Faroese production company founded by Jón Hammer. Producing premium film, television, and documentary projects since 2017, the company is behind TROM (2022), the first-ever Faroese TV series, and The Last Paradise on Earth (2025), which earned the Faroe Islands its first Nordic Council Film Award win. With a strong pipeline of upcoming projects, Outlier Projects champions bold, entertaining storytelling with international reach.
JÓN HAMMER | PRODUCER & CEO
A graduate of Goldsmiths, University of London, Jón Hammer began his film career in 2012 at Zentropa in Copenhagen, sharpening his storytelling instincts and production craft. In 2017, he founded Faroese production company Kykmyndir, later rebranded as Outlier Projects, driven by a clear ambition: to tell bold, internationally resonant stories.
He produced TROM (2022), the first-ever Faroese TV series, and The Last Paradise on Earth (2025), the first Faroese film to be nominated for and win the Nordic Council Film Prize. His international network spans Berlinale Talents, Rotterdam Lab, Cannes L’Atelier, and the EAVE Producers Workshop, and in 2025 he completed the exclusive Inside Pictures programme, strengthening ties across the UK and US.
Alongside his own slate, he has worked on major international productions filmed in the Faroe Islands and Denmark, including How to Train Your Dragon, The BFG, No Time to Die, and Peter Pan & Wendy.
NADIA BARBARA ABRAHAMSEN | JUNIOR PRODUCER
Nadia began working with Outlier Projects in 2024, joining as a producer’s assistant for Jón Hammer, during an internship supported by the Danish Film Institute (DFI). She has since progressed to her current role as a junior producer at the company.
She began her career in film through her work with film festivals, and in 2017 she founded the Faroe Islands International Minority Film Festival (FIMFF), the first queer minority film festival in the Faroe Islands.
Her passion for storytelling led her into film production, where she began as a producer’s assistant at Hyæne Film, gaining valuable experience across development, production, and post-production.
In 2023, Nadia made her debut as a film producer with the short film LIÐ VIÐ LIÐ (The Last Straw), which was nominated for a Robert Award and invited to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.
Alongside her professional work, Nadia is attending Super16, the renowned Danish film school as a producer, where she is currently working on her first-year film.
