Independent Film Producer Niels Juul Expands Operations

Independent film producer Niels Juul, known for his work on “Ferrari” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is enhancing his business footprint by establishing an office in Rome and a base in Denmark.

Strategic Investments and New Hires

With a recent cash infusion from U.K. and Swedish investors, Juul has made significant moves by bringing on Christelle Conan, previously with Ingenious Media, to lead the financing and sales division. Additionally, Alan Cohen, a seasoned finance executive from Warner Bros., has joined as the company’s CFO and financial controller.

Expanding the Team

They will be joining No Fat Ego, alongside the existing development team, which includes Kelsey Kummerl, who oversees NFE’s Los Angeles office, and Thomas Ernst, who will manage the operations in Denmark.

Leadership Changes

These new appointments follow the exit of Sofie Nordstrom, who recently spearheaded a significant overhaul of NFE’s operations and strategic planning.

New Projects on the Horizon

In other exciting developments, Zero Gravity Management and “Ozark” producer Mark Williams has signed on as showrunner for “Adidas: Impossible Is Nothing,” a TV series inspired by Adi Dassler, the visionary behind Adidas. This series delves into the tumultuous relationship between Adi and his brother Rudolf, whose rivalry led to the creation of the competing brand Puma and a family feud that has lasted generations.

Upcoming Projects

Other notable projects in the No Fat Ego pipeline include “The Glowing Man,” a biopic chronicling the journey of Ole Henriksen from a small-town Danish dreamer to a Hollywood skincare icon, co-produced with Nordisk Film in collaboration with global luxury leader LVMH. Additionally, there’s “Ellen,” the inspiring true story of Ellen Nielsen, a single mother of six who bravely defied the Nazis during World War II, facilitating safe passage for over 100 Jews from Denmark to Sweden.
