ARTIFICIAL EXISTENCE Selected for Odense International Film Festival 2026

I’m incredibly proud to share that ARTIFICIAL EXISTENCE (KUNSTIG EKSISTENS) has been selected for the official programme at Odense International Film Festival 2026.

At some point, this stopped being just a document on my laptop and became a real film. I’m endlessly grateful to director Louise Agnete Wolff and producer Gustav Foldorf for helping it get there.

Alongside co-writing the film, I also got to portray the caretaker, a role quite unlike anything else I have played, and when you see the film, you’ll understand why.

Still wrapping my head around the fact that our film gets to be part of one of Europe’s most respected short film festivals. Huge love to the amazing team behind this film - it exists because of their talent, generosity, and countless hours of work. Couldn’t be more grateful.

Can’t wait to share it with audiences in Odense during festival week 35.
