WRITE

I just finish writing the pilot episode of a new international comedy-drama odyssee tv-series The Hunt for Pineapple… and am therefor in the midst of fining a production company for it.

I am currently also creating my first own Graphic Novel and Illustrated Children’s Picture Book both expected finished in 2025.

Recently I have finished writing two new plays for theatre, as well as a longer dramatic text in novel form ‘Electra Grassing’ in Danish, inspired by Athens, all three I hope soon will get into production. I have a feature film-manuscript ready for the UK-market, and I am developing the storyline for an International historical TV-series, which has also inspired a Historical Novel I am writing.
