Frederik Louis Hviid

Frederik Louis Hviid graduated from the Danish Film School, Super16, with his short “HALFMAN” in 2017. The film received critically acclaim in the Danish press, won gold at the Young Directors Award in Cannes and finally received a nomination from the Danish Film Academy Award in 2017.

Shortly after his graduation, Frederik directed the season finale of the highly successful danish television show “FOLLOW THE MONEY III”. The show was selected for the 2019 Berlinale and won several Danish Academy Awards including “Best Series of the Year”. The episodes aired in the US and UKs BBC 4.

Frederik’s debut feature, SHORTA, premiered in Critics Week at Venice Film Festival and then went on to play at Toronto to excellent reviews. The film was sold by Charades internationally with Magnolia acquiring it for release in North America and Vertigo in the UK.

Frederik then shot the season finale of drama TEMPLE for Hera Pictures and Sky in 2020 before going on to create and direct PRISONER, which premiered on the BBC in 2024 to critical acclaim.

His latest feature, THE QUIET ONES, is in post production and was produced by Oscar winning ANOTHER ROUND producer Kasper Dissing.
