Hanne Palmquist has an unparalleled knowledge of the creative landscape across the Nordics and paired with Helena kerman's understanding of the Swedish market, we have an excellent leadership team in place, says Lars Blomgren, Head of Scripted at EMEA at Endemol Shine Group I would like to personally thank Anders for his fantastic work leading Filmlance and growing the business. We are thrilled that he will continue to focus on the creative, developing some exciting new series for the international market and producing our forthcoming hits. With this stellar team, Filmlance and the Nordics can meet all the fantastic opportunities for years to come.
Hanne Palmquist says; During many years and in various constellations, not least during my four great years at HBO Nordic, I have collaborated with Filmlance and Rubicon and have always admired their impressive, diverse, high quality slate and ways of working together. The Nordics have a long-standing reputation as a market leader and with the appetite for non-English language series growing, I'm excited to bring my expertise and lead the talented and passionate team. I'm looking forward to standing behind original, powerful and engaging content.
