Construction coordinator & Production designer
Construction coordinator & Production designer
Anders Engelbrecht was our hero in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2015 and in 2017.
One thing is to imagine an entirely new world for a movie, but the other is to know how to make that fantasy come true. Anders Engelbrecht is the exact person, who has the measures to construct, reconstruct, deconstruct, time travel and bring ideas to life right at the shooting site. Anders Engelbrecht already has 30 years of experience in his account. He has been working with design sets, installations and decorations for films, museums, TV and theatre. In the mid-90s Anders Engelbrecht realised how rapidly grows the visual industry and the raising importance of perfect design sets. So, he established a company Engelbrecht Construction A/S and provides scenography solutions of all sizes for the production houses for the last 25 years. A company has around 50 specialised employers: architects, designers, project managers, technicians and craftsmen with a strong desire to focus on any task from its’ initial point to the finalisation. Anders Engelbrecht is also a founder and co-owner of both large and small film production citadel - Filmstationen. This 30,000 square meters creative business area is located outside the Copenhagen in the old military airbase of Værløse and provides the filmmakers with any necessary facilities. In addition to this, Anders Engelbrecht also works as a production designer for Danish film. He has proved the importance of art department in such feature films as “Smila’s Sense of Snow” (directed by Bille August), “I Am Dina” (directed by Ole Bornedal), “Simon & the Oaks” (directed by Lisa Ohlin), “Deliver Us from Evil” (directed by Ole Bornedal). Last two brought him nominations for a Danish Robert Award for The Best Production Design and a Swedish Guldbagge Award for The Best Design Set. His in-depth experience in construction and set design, shooting site know-how and long years of hard work with acknowledged partners in Scandinavia allow him to share the understanding not only how to imagine the undiscovered worlds of cinema, but how to actually realise these ideas no matter how impossible they might seem. |
