Director Emilie Thalund joins CZAR

As a child, she was constantly filling notebooks with drawings. As a teenager, she dreamt about becoming a director but kept it a secret. Instead she continued sketching and attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating with a master in Art & Architecture, she was ready to follow her childhood dream and entered the world of film. To learn the ropes she worked for a couple of years assisting acclaimed director Martin Werner.

From here she took off as a director in her own right. Mixing genres and creating bridges between narratives, places and pictures, Emilie's work and the composition of her images reflect her artistic background. Emilie is a sensitive observer, a dreamer and a visually strong narrator. She’s interested in the tales of women, and dreams of filling in some of the blanks in the way women have previously been portrayed.

She was also recently named "Talent of the Year" within the Danish advertising industry.
