Philip Hedegaard is an upcoming Danish director based in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has a focus on telling stories about the small relations in our large cosmos and finding the poetic balance between the scales of the individuel and the existence in the vast univers.
A graduate from Copenhagen Film- & Photoschool where he specialised in directing and storytelling. His short film ‘OsWorld’ was the start of his career in 2020 for which he received the award for ´Best Director' at the Lift-Off Global Network Season Awards and the main price at Ekko Shortlist Awards in 2021. The film had its premiere at Odense International Filmfestival 2020, where it was nominated for both 'Best Danish Short' and 'The Audience Award'.
He has since went on to study scriptwriting to extend his knowledge and means to develop the stories he wish to bring to the big screen.
Currently he works in the scale of the short film format, where he pushes the limits of which stories can be told within this extremely small budget range. Here he finds a creative challenge, that helps develop his filmmaking skills until the opportunity strikes for him to direct his first feature film.
