Michael Porseryd, CEO of SF Studios said: “I am truly excited to have a producer of Annika’s calibre to lead our Swedish team. In addition to her abilities as a producer, both creatively and commercially, we have also been particularly impressed by her leadership skills. We look forward to having her further strengthen SF Studios’ position as a leading film producer in the Nordics.”

Sucksdorff added: “I am very much looking forward to working with the talented team at SF Studios. There is great momentum with recent commercial and artistic successes like A Man Called Ove and the highly-anticipated Borg/McEnroe. The studio also has a strong development slate with iconic titles. I look forward to continuing the legacy of the talented Fredrik Wikström Nicastro.”

The Bonnier-owned Scandinavian film group has another strong production team in Copenhagen under Head of Production Lars Bredo Rahbek’s leadership.
