Adam Price

He will join a panel at the Summit, part of Content London, which takes place between November 29 and December 1.

Price set up Sam Productions with Søren Sveistrup, Meta Louise Foldager and Studio Canal in 2014 with the ambition of working with the strongest Scandinavian talent from TV and feature films.

New projects include Rides upon the Storm, a one-hour drama that marks the first collaboration between DR and Arte. The character-based story is about two brothers and what happens when war and a number of personal conflicts hit a so-called ‘ordinary’ family.

Price’s writing credits include Borgen for DR1, which won multiple awards including a BAFTA, a Prix Italia and a Peabody. He also wrote Anna Pihl (TV2 Drama), winning the Danish TV-award for best drama in 2006 and was behind the original idea for Nikolaj and Julie (DR Drama) that was awarded the Emmy Award in 2003.

He has also worked as a freelance writer and restaurant-critic for Politiken, the Danish paper, and was commissioning editor/head of drama for TV2 2000-2004.
