Biscuit Filmworks has added Bine Bach to its directorial roster for commercials and branded content in both the U.S. and U.K. This marks her first ad representation in the American and U.K. ad markets. Based in Copenhagen, Bach is an award-winning director whose work integrates deadpan humor and surrealism to great effect. She continues to be repped by production house Bacon in the Scandinavian marketplace.
Danish director Bach has been fascinated by comedy from an early age. Her childhood aspiration was to become a stand-up comedian, but a fervent dislike of being alone on stage meant she needed another outlet for her unique mindset–which is where filmmaking came into play.
Bach began her advertising career as a creative at Wieden + Kennedy New York. She stepped out on her own with writing, directing, and editing the award-winning film “Say Aaahhh!” for Danish department store Magasin. She has also directed the Instagram video series “Leandra Dresses Leandra” for Leandra Medine Cohen’s fashion blog Man Repeller, ads for designer Gelareh Mizrahi, and the brand film for femcare innovators Billie, which was shortlisted for a Young Director Award this year.
“Bine brings so much creativity and craft to everything she does. She makes the world a better place,” shared Rupert Reynolds-Maclean, managing director of Biscuit Filmworks UK.
Bach said, “I’ve always looked to Biscuit as having one of the strongest comedy rosters in the industry with directors I admire so much, so it’s incredible for me to join that list. I’ve had a very welcoming experience so far and I can’t wait to work with this team.”
