DR Alum Christian Rank Joins Miso Film

Miso Film has tapped Christian Rank, former head of drama at DR, as head of development and producer.

Taking up the role in August 2022, Rank will have a view across local and global productions, working on the development and production of scripted projects for Miso Film, bringing in IP and building a strong roster of creative talent.

Rank was behind TV 2 series such as Rita, Norskov, Warrior and Lucky Per along with Lykke and The Legacy at DR. As head of drama, he was responsible for productions such as When the Dust Settles, Cry Wolf, Doggystyle, Julefeber and the latest season of Borgen.

Peter Bose, CEO and producer of the Miso Film Group, commented: “The decision to hire Christian is an important step in accomplishing Miso Film’s ambition of growing the company’s profile and fulfilling its huge market potential. The market has developed rapidly for several years, where streaming services and TV stations have increased the level of local content considerably. At the same time, the demands are higher than ever. Not everything performs well for the services, so there’s an increased focus on quality, originality and consistency from both streaming services and TV stations. Christian will strengthen our market position, and we are excited to benefit from his experience and highly professional competencies.”

Rank said: “The film and TV market is undergoing great changes and that places tough requirements on production companies. Miso Film is among the strongest and most ambitious production companies in Scandinavia, and their future goal of developing both local and international productions is both attractive and ambitious. I am excited for the strategic work and to create quality productions with my new colleagues at Miso Film, and not the least to work with the creatives in the industry, who are vital to our work.”
