IRIS MAGDALENE SCHMIDT

FILM DIRECTOR

Filmmaker working in the cross-field of fiction, storytelling and interactive media.

I am a Danish-Greek film director specialized in unique universes and

characters questioning national identities within social structures. 

I have specialized in virtual production technology since 2020

with hands-on experience and daily access to an LED screen.

I work by creating universes and having them play out on any platform (feature film, short film, virtual reality experience etc).

This way, it is possible for me to create multiple stories from a fictional universe. Collaborating across creative industries,

I look at methods for developing storyworlds and how to tell stories.

I have worked as Creative Director at Virsabi, a company specialised in

virtual production (VP), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

Virsabi’s clients include Red Bull, IKEA, Jabra, Mærsk, Pfizer, KVIK and Bang&Olufsen and others. 

Through my work, I explore the intersection of storytelling, technology and visions for the future of filmmaking.

I thrive when I create projects that challenge the audience.
