1.4 Interview
with Bine
Bach

Bine stays lazy and busy.

Let it be known, we are huge fans of Bine
Bach Damsgaard. The most recent addition
to our directors' roster is not just a great
hang, she is also an exciting director turning
heads internationally.

Case in point: the new interview with Bine
over at 1.4, where she talks about her
hands-on approach, aspirations to make an
Old Spice ad and why being busy is
important – even for the bone idle.

What are you waiting for? Go read it right

"I’m not a morning person and I’m also lazy,
so I prefer things where you don’t have
to move a lot. That made me think I was
better suited for filmmaking."

“...because I started in animation and VFX, I love magic realism - mixing real life and the fantastical. Anything that is truthful, magical or surreal, but not all in the same spot. My approach is playing it straight, even if it is a Tesla flying off into the sunset.”
