Porseryd
CEO
Running the 103-year-old Swedish film and TV prodco and distributor, Porseryd has produced a steady stream of films and TV series intended primarily for the Scandinavian market, including the first Danish-language Netflix feature, Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg’s “Loving Adults,” starring Dar Salim and Sonja Richter, which premiered in August. But he’s also getting some attention stateside with his latest film, director Marc Forster’s “A Man Called Otto,” starring Tom Hanks. Sony Pictures paid a reported $60 million for the worldwide rights in February in what was said to be the largest-ever deal at the European Film Market. His next project is another SF Studios-Netflix collaboration, director Bille August’s feature adaptation of the Karen Blixen novel “Ehrengard.” A dark fairytale set in the mythical kingdom of Babenhausen, it will feature sets designed by Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II.
