About Copenhagen Bombay
In 2006 director Anders Morgenthaler and producer Sarita Christensen founded Copenhagen Bombay. The main focus for the company is to develop original stories for children and youth, producing feature films, tv-series, animation films, documentary and using the digital platforms available.
Copenhagen Bombay is funded in collaboration with Egmont Denmark/Nordisk Film, who owns one third of the company. The board members are Allan Hansen, Sarita Christensen and Henrik Sanders.
Before leaving Zentropa, Anders and Sarita cooperated on the animated feature film PRINCESS (2006), co-produced with Shotgun Pictures GmbH (DE). The film was in competition at Directors' Fortnight in Cannes 2006. Sarita also co-produced the adventure film ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (2007, dir. Nikolaj Arcel) with Memfis Film AB (SE) and Heimatfilm GmbH (DE).
Current projects
At the moment Copenhagen Bombay has just completed Anders' third feature, the 2D-animation film THE APPLE AND THE WORM (2009), co-produced with Garagefilm AB (SE). It has received support from Eurimages, the Nordic Film- and TV-Fund, as well as the Danish and Swedish Film Institutes and is produced in cooperation with DR and SVT. In production is the animated TV series Bogus & Humbug, Pinkie, and the puppet show Carsten & Gitte's Funky-Tonky Treehouse, all produced in cooperation with DR.
Cross Media
At Copenhagen Bombay we have very strong cross media ambitions. Everything starts with a story because we believe stories to be the key to open multi-platform universes. We also believe in challenging our ideas in order to integrate new technologies and new business partners to push our products further. We develop book formats, games, web, toys as well as retail and mobile universes.
