Finally it is official. Vokseværk is selected for the Short Cuts International at Toronto International Film Festival.

This is the best possible start for the film. And hopefully tha beginning of a long life in the festival circuit.

Tor Fruergaard, Sissel Dalsgaard Thomsen, Kristian Eidnes and myself will be going to Toronto to meet the audience and the industry and

to see if we can create a good vibe around the film.

And hopefully I will meet some possible future collaboration partners for Minna & The Dreambuilders. A producer’s work is never done.

But it’s always a lot of fun.

I am so proud of Vokseværk. And of everyone working on the film. YAY!

Wow. To be 1 out of just 14 animation projects to receive development funding from Creative Europe. That makes us just so darn proud.

This means that MINNA & THE DREAMBUILDERS can hold a completely awesome pixar inspired workshop where immensly talented people will pour all their great ideas

into the film and we can just paddle around in a pool of creative bliss, picking and choosing to our liking. And the best part: We will pay people to be part of our development.

Believe it or not, that is not too common these days. But now we have that possibility, and I promise you that we will take the money and do our absolute best

to get as much of it into the film, so we can make a kick-ass film that will awe the shizzle out of everyone and really cement that Danish animation is great…

So, no pressure 🙂 Just hard work.

Giant shout out to Producers Lise Saxtrup and Nina Lyng for letting me see (read: borrow from) their previous applications. I could not have done it without them. Or the invaluable help from Danish Creative Europe desk, Ene Katrine Rasmussen. You ladies ROCK!
