FilmTecknarna Launches US Creative Studio
June 5, 2009 | Levent OZLER
FilmTecknarna, the legendary storytelling and design house based in Stockholm and serving commercial clients all over the world, recently announced the company's expansion to the United States.
Under the direction of Executive Producer Bill Hewes, the initial FilmTecknarna offices will house a full studio in New York City within the next year, significantly strengthening the company's presence in the U.S. market.
The company will be repped stateside by Judy Wolff (East Coast), Hilly Reps (Midwest), Reber Covington (West Coast) and Hesty Reps (Canada).
FilmTecknarna is known for its groundbreaking work, including music videos for Madonna (Music) and Franz Ferdinand (Take Me Out), high profile ad campaigns (Absolut, BMW, Boddingtons, Ikea, McDonald's, Hummer, Southern Comfort) and short films (Lies, directed by Jonas Odell, won the Special Jury Prize for Best International Short Film at this year's Sundance film festival).
"We have looked forward to deepening our presence in the States for some years now," says Lars Ohlson, who co-founded FilmTecknarna (with classmates Jonas Odell and Stig Bergqvist) and now serves as the company's CEO.
"We love to tell compelling stories through unique design, and feel we can do it more and better by expanding our presence into the US market."
