Kristina Kornum

Kristina Kornum’s been in the film game for a hot minute, and honestly, her work speaks for itself. Born June 13, 1969, she’s Danish—though if you’re into indie cinema, you probably already clocked that vibe from the credits. She’s got this knack for wrangling chaos behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy. Kornum doesn’t just stick to one thing, either—she’s bounced between producing and managing, pulling off some pretty wild feats in both roles. You might’ve caught her name rolling by in “The Salvation” (2014), that gritty Western with Mads Mikkelsen doing his usual brooding thing. She had her hands all over that, stitching together the madness of the Old West with a Danish twist. Then there’s “Binge Drinking” (2020), which—let’s be real—tackles the kind of rough nights and bad decisions plenty of us know too well. Kornum was the steady hand guiding that trainwreck into something actually meaningful, not just a cautionary tale. And let’s not forget “The Promised Land” (2023). It’s this sweeping historical drama full of grit, ambition, and that old-school struggle-for-survival energy. Kornum’s on-point management keeps it all from going off the rails. She’s not flashy, just rock-solid reliable, the type you want in your corner when budgets get tight and schedules go sideways. Bottom line, if her name’s in the credits, you know you’re in for a ride that’s both polished and a little bit unpredictable—just how good cinema should be.
