I’m Anton Breum, a writer and director based in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I work in film, television, and games. I write projects, I direct projects, I teach, and I also work as a creative consultant.

I studied filmmaking at the European Film College, and I hold a master’s degree in political science (aka. The Study of Power) from Copenhagen University and Science Po Paris. I have worked professionally with stories since I graduated in 2013.

My projects have won several awards, and I have been described by the leading Danish film magazine “Ekko” as a “sparkling talent with a rare flair for nuances”. I am quite fond of quoting this.

I’m always interested in new and exciting collaborations both in Denmark and abroad. So if you want to discuss your new and exciting project with me, let me know!
