Søren Frimodt-Møller

Søren Frimodt-Møller, born June 16, 1967, is one of those behind-the-scenes legends you might not spot on the red carpet, but his fingerprints are all over some seriously impactful films. The guy’s got a knack for wrangling chaos—making sure the whole circus of filmmaking actually turns into something watchable. As a production manager and producer, his name pops up in credits for stuff like “Hævnen” (or “In a Better World,” if you’re into the English titles), which snagged an Oscar and basically had everyone talking about it for months. Not exactly small potatoes. Then there’s “The Salvation” from 2014, a gritty Danish Western—which, yeah, those exist, and this one’s got that dusty, gunslinger vibe with Mads Mikkelsen brooding all over the place. Søren helped steer that ship too, wrangling all the wildness and bringing a proper dark edge to European cinema. And don’t forget “Binge Drinking” (2020), which takes a hard look at the whole party culture and its costs. Søren’s got a way of picking projects that don’t pull their punches—stories that’ll rattle around in your head long after the credits roll. He clearly loves diving into the messier parts of life, where things aren’t tied up with a neat little bow. Whether he’s herding cast and crew or making tough calls from the producer’s chair, Søren Frimodt-Møller keeps showing up where stories get real, rough, and unforgettable.
