The hit series “BORGEN” from prime Danish broadcaster Danmarks Radio, is currently shooting a new season. The long awaited continuation of the political drama picks up in realtime, seven years later.
I was fortunate to be a part of the art department for a shorter visit in september, now, I can’t wait the see the outcome – most likely like the rest of Denmark.

The popular Danish childrens movie “Krummerne” written by Thøger Birkeland, has been with us for almost 3o years reaching up to 800.000 sold tickets. Reaching the 6th in the series, we just finished producing the next in line story about the loveable Krumborg family, this time spiced up by the presence of the renouned comedy acters, Ditte Hansen and Dejan Čukić.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Production Designers Peter De Neergaard and Andreas Bach Harboe.

I’m very happy to be working with founder of UX Copenhagen 2021, Helle Martens, for yet another year, creating the set design for the conference. This will happend from March 25th – 26th.
Unfortunately this year also, the conference will be held online, nonetheless with very interesting speakers. I hope to experience the buzzing days when some 400 participants and speakers from all over the world gathers again, as one big UX Copenhagen family next year.

Into the autumn, we are shooting on the island of Fyen, telling the beautiful story of “Du som er i himlen” / “As in heaven”. Based on an original book from 1911, A Night of Death by Marie Bregnedahl, the setting is Denmark in the late 1880’s. Here the womens perspective of living and evolving themselves within the religious dominans is portrayed. We shoot on 16 mm film which is an absolute bliss and add a wonderful, subtile feel to the visual identity of the film.
