  • We make about 25 films a year. For a small country of 5 million people, it's good. They all have been released in theatres, strong governmental support. I think it enables us to make a lot of different films every year, and I think that's what makes a strong industry. We have like 35-40% of people watching films are Danish films and the rest will be American and English. - Unknown
