Tonight I was interviewed on Danish National TV2 about my film career in LA. So, if you fancy Danish, please be my guest and click on this link to see the sequence. Maybe you’ll learn a phrase or two in Danish ….

I try to catch up on as much Danish culture as possible be it music, film and fashion. I’m always curious ot see what the new and the old are up to. I’m especially interested in the film industry since I moved to Los Angeles to make films. It’s 2 years ago now. Before that I was in NYC.
I’ve never really felt at home in Denmark. I hate Danish food, I detest the weather and loath the ‘jantelov’, which in my point of view has kept aspiring spirits down through decades. And now, with the right wing government that has gone even more right wing since i left the nest Denmark has gone from an idealistic Oasis to a ‘nice’, predictable, self centered and very expensive country with, in my opinion, a really sad future if we do not vote differently next time. What happened to idealism? What happened to long term thinking?
Anyways… I’m so happy to state, that I’m extremely proud to be Danish when it comes to film and filmmakers. Especially when I watched this film ‘Applause’. I first heard about it a year ago when I met the producer Mikael Rieks at a meeting with the production company Koncern in Copenhagen. I wanted to sharte a script with him and he told me about his new film, which was about to go into festivals.
Right after our meeting he got so busy traveling because Applause won award upon award. And I can see why. The female lead Paprika Steen is an amazing actress, but with this film she cements her star status firmly and internationally. Her performance is stellar in an even better written story. And the styling and scenography is beautiful. OMG! I totally missed Copenhagen, good taste and the old beautiful apartments in my hometown. That’s peobably the first time I felt like that in 5 years. hmmm….. anyways, please take a peak for your self…
I’m so looking forward to see Sofia Coppola’s latest movie Somewhere. I think she’s fantastic and makes the coolest movies. “Lost in Translation”, “Virgin Suicides” & “Marie Antoinette” are my favorites with her. There is something about the light, and the slow, almost melancholic rhythm in her movies that I find very real and beautiful. They’re all so artsy in a way
Yesterday my old peep, trend spotter and cultural explorer, Yvan Rodic was in town. We met years back during a random fashion week in Copenhagen where we spent a lot of time taking pictures of people and each other. Last night was no different. Except Yvan has become quite famous for his blog and online TV show called Facehunter.
He asked me what’s up in LA so I took him to a classic place in Hollywood called Bardot. The place has live concerts on Mondays. And another cool thing about Bardot is that it is filled with not so ‘Hollywoody’ types. Meaning, that plenty of Euros and New Yorkers go there. A feature that I personally love a lot.
The band turned out to be a pure girl band called ‘The Like’ with fans like Erin Wasson, Alexa Chung and the likes. I was standing shoulder to shoulder with Erin without noticing, but bien sur; The Facehunter spotted her instantly he he ;-)
Here are a couple of shots:

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands ever, and this song is so brilliant. Please enjoy!
Anyone who knows me well is not surprised with this post, my friends were probably just waiting for it, and here it is; my first post about Jim Morrison.
It was yesterday when Kaitlyn posted the Calvin Klein X Underwear campaign it hit me that I also have to share some man candy here. And here it is, my collection of favorite Morrison pictures. That look, that hair and that voice.. It’s almost too much ;)
“The seasons are changing, I feel myself changing with them. The harvest come, the sun raises, another day is about to begin. Although this land is home, it feels empty. I want to leave, run away. Once again broken promises keep me here“
I just got back home from the movies after seeing Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” . A great story and most of all such a beautiful movie – the architecture, the graphics, the colors, the characters, the clothes etc.
My favorite character was `White Queen´ (Anne Hathaway), her graciousness and beauty was so intriguing and captivating. This movie is a must see if you’re in to pretty things…
