Amid challenging times in the film and TV industry, Nordisk Film & TV Fond will introduce a small change to its Nordic Talents Producers’ Pitch.

This year, the Producers’ Pitch unspooling September 7 at the National Film School of Denmark , will be held under the overriding theme ‘How to Face the Paradigm Shift in the Nordic Film & TV Industry’.
The session will include both a presentation of five Nordic production companies, and a keynote by Danish media analyst and streaming expert Keld Reinicke.

The Five Nordic producers set to present their company’s DNA, opportunities for new Nordic talent, and to discuss the current challenges in the industry are the following:

  • Kerstin Übelacker, We Have a Plan, Sweden
  • Roope Lehtinen, Fire Monkey, Finland
  • Jonas Bruun, Skala-Storm Films, Norway

His focus is programme development and content creation, supporting and development of the Nordic TV-market, as a vital part of the European TV-industry.

The session ‘How to Face the Paradigm Shift in the Nordic Film & TV Industry’ and the Producers’ Pitch will be moderated by industry veteran Noemi Ferrer. The CEO & founder of Yes & No, has more than 25 years of experience in the Danish and European Film and TV industry.
