What does it take to be a good producer on a fast-paced film set, where time pressure, creative ambitions, and different personalities collide? And how do you build trust when collaborations are often short-lived – but intense?
In this workshop, we welcome producer David Lukunku, who will share his experience working as a producer, collaborating, and communicating in the film industry. Drawing on everything from LEGO commercials to feature film productions, David will provide concrete tools on how you, as a producer (or aspiring producer), can balance logistics and artistic vision, strengthen relationships, and create a healthy working environment on set.

• The producer’s role as the “glue” in production: how to balance creative visions with practical frameworks and quickly build trust during short productions.
• Communication under pressure – without losing perspective: how to stay calm, keep morale high in crisis situations, and lead a team without micromanaging.
• Conflict management as a creative driver: how disagreements can be turned into new ideas and strengthen collaboration rather than weaken it.
• Empathy and sustainability: how to prevent stress and burnout, both for yourself and your team, while still delivering results.
Throughout the workshop participants will work hands-on with cases and exercises, testing out the methods in practice.
𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗟𝘂𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗸𝘂 is a film creative currently working at LEGO. Educated as a film producer at Super8 and holding a Master’s degree in IT Product Design from SDU, David combines user-centric design methods with a strong foundation in film production.
He has managed productions such as Mindi (2025), shortlisted for the Robert Awards, as well as two short films funded by Den Vestdanske Filmpulje that explore humanity’s relationship with nature. In addition, he served as Chairman of Super8’s Årgang 11, gaining valuable leadership experience.
The workshop is open to everyone but will be especially relevant if you are already producing – or dreaming of becoming a producer.
The workshop will be taught in english, but you’re free to ask questions in danish, if you feel more comfortable doing so.

Hvordan er man en god producer på et filmset med fart på, hvor tidspres, kreative ambitioner og forskellige personligheder mødes? Og hvordan skaber man tillid, når samarbejdet ofte er kortvarigt – men intenst?
Til denne workshop får vi besøg af producer David Lukunku, der vil dele ud af sin erfaring med arbejdet som producer, samarbejde og kommunikation i filmbranchen. Med udgangspunkt i alt fra LEGO-reklamer til filmproduktioner giver David konkrete værktøjer til, hvordan du som producer (eller kommende producer) kan balancere logistik og kunstnerisk vision, styrke relationer og skabe et sundt arbejdsmiljø på settet.
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗹.𝗮. 𝗼𝗺𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴:
• Producentens rolle som “limen” i produktionen: hvordan du balancerer kreative visioner med praktiske rammer, og hurtigt opbygger tillid under på korte produktioner
• Kommunikation under pres – uden at miste overblikket: hvordan man kan bevare roen, holde moralen oppe i krisesituationer og lede et hold uden at micromanage
• Konflikthåndtering som kreativ drivkraft: hvordan uenigheder kan vendes til nye idéer og styrke samarbejdet frem for at svække det
• Empati og bæredygtighed: hvordan du forebygger stress og udbrændthed, både hos dig selv og dit team, samtidig med at resultaterne leveres.
Undervejs bliver der arbejdet praktisk med cases og øvelser, hvor du får mulighed for at afprøve metoderne i praksis.
𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗟𝘂𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗸𝘂 er en filmskaber, der i øjeblikket arbejder hos LEGO. Uddannet som filmproducer på Super8 og med en kandidatgrad i IT Product Design fra SDU, kombinerer David brugercentrerede designmetoder med et solidt fundament inden for filmproduktion.
Han har stået i spidsen for produktioner som Mindi (2025), der blev shortlistet til Robertprisen, samt to kortfilm støttet af Den Vestdanske Filmpulje, der undersøger menneskets forhold til naturen. Derudover har han været formand for Super8’s Årgang 11, hvor han opnåede værdifuld ledererfaring.
Workshoppen er åben for alle, men er især interessant for dig, der producerer – eller dig, der drømmer om at gøre det.
Workshoppen undervises på engelsk, men du kan stille spørgsmål på dansk, hvis du foretrækker det.
