Bakerman is a feature film written and directed by David Noel Bourke.[2] It stars Mikkel Vadsholt as Jens, alongside Siir Tilif, Brian Hjulmann, and Mia Lerdam. The movie evolved from a previous project, White Pig, whose scope was too large to shoot independently, so the filmmaker took one character and developed a movie about him.[3]

Plot

Jens (Mikkel Vadsholdt) is a reclusive night-owl. In the midst of a mid-life crisis, the quality of his work as a baker begins to decline. When a group of young people smash the window of his car, his temper breaks and he knocks one of them out. Jens finds new purpose through vigilantism, leading him down a destructive path.[1]

Release

Bakerman had its world premier at CPH:PIX.[4] The official Irish premier was at the Dingle International Film Festival in 2017, where the director also participated in a special Independent Journey panel to discuss the making of this feature film along with other filmmakers.[5]

Bakerman also was officially selected at Filmfest München 2017,[1] where the film participated in the international independents section of the festival program.[1] Other notable film festivals that invited the film for screenings include Nordic International Film Festival in New York (where the lead actor won the Best Male Actor Award),[6] the Scandinavian International Film Festival in Finland,[7] the Richard Harris International Film Festival in Ireland,[8] and the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival in Sweden (where it was nominated for the Méliès d'argent award for Best Feature Film).[9][10]

Accolades

Mikkel Vadsholt's performance as Jens won the 2017 Best Male Actor Award at the Nordic International Film Festival.[6]

The film won the Best Foreign Film award at the Maryland International film festival, which was presented to director David Noel Bourke.[11][12][13]
