◢ YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD
Youths are much faster to adopt new communication platforms, genres, narrative styles and possibilities than the industry, and they represent of course our target group. It seems not only logic to bring in the youths as sparring partners at an early stage of the creative process, more and more, we are convinced, that it will be necessary in many ways.
The point is to make producers and creators not only more professional in dealing with their target group but also to become much more aware of what it actually requires, to be able to catch the attention of Young Audiences. Which also underpin our outmost principle: to take Youths with their needs, interests, problems and ideas serious.
Welcome to m:brane’s Board of Youth Experts!
Agnes
I love hanging out with my friends, listening to music and reading. I also love going on long walks in the woods (when I‘m not tired and when I’m in the mood of course) one more thing I love to do is to watch a good movie. I live in Copenhagen, I live with my mom, dad and my sister. And I have tried being an expert on M:brane twice before.
David
I am into games of all kinds, from board games to online and open world, but still a bad loser. At CoderDojo I learn how to program and have done some small projects in Python and Javascript. On YouTube I like to watch Game Theory (analysis of games). I also play football and cheer for Liverpool FC. I enjoy watching movies of all sorts – even bad films because that makes them funny.
Josefine
I love reading and watching movies. I like Marvel, Criminal minds, Harry Potter and that kind of stuff. I also love to be creative like painting, drawing and writing.
When I’m at home I mostly just listen to music and hang with friends.
My favorite place to be is our summerhouse in Sweden which is in the middle of the forest.
In the future I would like to travel to England or maybe Paris. I know it sounds a bit basic but that is one of my dreams.
Morgan
I have experience from making short films, and have been acting since 8 years back. I’ve also been involved in film award juries twice: the Young Audience Award and the European Film Award. My interest in film is only matched by his interest in video games, books, and the beatles.

I love love to play Nintendo Switch (Zelda), Minecraft, LEGO and Harry Potter for PS3. My favorite movies are Diary of a wimpy kid, the Harry Potter-movies, Airplane (1+2). I am fluent in English and can watch many different sorts of films without subtitles. I like also to play drums, guitar, ukulele and to make songs. I am also good at building IKEA furnitures and other stuff where I should read a manual. I like to make my own games in Scratch and here is my Youtube Channel.

I attend a school with extra music classes. I love to sing and I also do gymnastics. I love to shoot and edit videos and have a quite popular slime Instagram account (mango.sliimezzz) and a YouTube channel (zmolly). I‘m picky in my taste of movies but if it’s good, I really enjoy watching films.

In the weekend I watch old films with my family, I’ve seen almost all the StarWars films with my dad and I really like Back to the Future.
