Mads Theodor Bonde

Mads Theodor Bonde began his creative journey at Holbæk Kunsthøjskole in the spring of 2022. There, he studied animation for four weeks under the guidance of Sara Koppel. It was during this time that his creativity flourished, leading to the creation of 'Else & Birthe' (2022), a hand-drawn 2D animation on paper, which he made together with Maria-May Backhaus Brown. Driven by their shared passion for traditional animation, they carried this approa...ch into their next project and created their debut film 'Vandpyt' (2024). 'Vandpyt' premiered at the Odense Film Festival this year, where it won the award for Best Danish Animated Film, and at Viborg Animation Festival, the film also received the Open Workshop Danish Talent Award.
