About

I’m Mats Dustin Lykkegaard, a Copenhagen-based film and TV professional working across Danish and international productions — in production coordination, assistant directing, and art department. I am currently writing and directing my debut short film as a writer-director.

My credits include Den Sidste Viking (Zentropa), STHLM Blackout (Amazon Prime), Cheminova (Nordisk Film), and Elastic Hearts (Forty Five Films).

In 2023, I made the move into film and television, bringing with me a background in communications and project management. I hold Danish and British citizenship, speak fluent French, and have a working command of Swedish.
