Danish producer Lars Bredo Rahbek [pictured left] - who has been a producer at Nimbus Film since 1997 working on titles including Flame And Citron – joins as the company’s new head of production for Denmark, effective from March 1.

Tim King [pictured right], formerly of McKinsey & Co and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, joins as executive vice president production, reporting to CEO Jonas Fors, effective immediately.
