Teaser for our latest, and biggest, passion project yet! 🎬

“Achieving Excellence” is a cinematic food documentary set in the 21st century that explores the creative process to compete in Bocuse d`Or and the grand designs needed to be awarded the prestigious title. It’s a film about hard work, dedication, passion, and creativity.

We go inside of the life and kitchen of Sweden’s candidate, Jimmi Eriksson, to explore what it takes to achieve excellence. The documentary provides insights into the minds of the creatives and professionals involved. While also revealing the extensive challenges and collaborations.

Achieving Excellence is produced by Gustaf Björlin, Director of Photography and Editor, and Nicole Jacobsen, Producer and Executive Producer.
