About FilmTecknarna
Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden with offices in New York City, FilmTecknarna was created by Lars Ohlson, Jonas Odell, and Stig Bergqvist out of their common passion for graphic art and animation. The trio fueled their passion by designing, creating, and illustrating a long list of film projects, seamlessly migrating into Sweden's fledging commercial market in the 1990's. FilmTecknarna's impressive body of work includes a series of high-profile and award-winning films, music videos, TV series, and commercials for both the Nordic and international markets. The firm naturally evolved into a storytelling and design production studio, creating classic 2D animation, CGI, and 3D animation, as well as live action.
FilmTecknarna's directors are Jonas Odell, David Nord, Johanna Andersson, Jessica Laurén, Boris Nawratil, Stig Bergqvist, Jonas Dahlbeck, Jory Hull, Lucas Zanotto and Bold Faces.
In the United States the company is repped by Judy Wolff (East Coast), Hilly Reps (Midwest), Reber Covington (West Coast) and Hesty Reps (Canada).
