summary
Argues for a lightweight national connector that lists who is available and what skills are needed so studios stop outsourcing and start trading people and services; cites Norway having 60 companies vs Iceland 20 and examples of Bergen, Trondheim and Hammer collectives sharing staff and resources. Notes one studio switched art from outsourcing to Czech Republic to local hires after matching, and calls for shared specialists (marketing, audio, investors) and cross-trained short-term placements. Organizing is proposed, not finished.
