B-Reel Films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B-Reel Films (also known as BR•F)[1] is an independent film production company founded in 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden. BR•F was a sister company of B-Reel but is now its own group. BR•F operates from offices in Los Angeles and Stockholm, working across commercials, feature films and television, documentaries, branded content, interactive and music videos.

History

[edit]

BR•F grew out of the Swedish TV production company Spader Knekt - later called St Paul[2] - which was founded in 1995 by Fredrik Heinig and two partners. In 1999, Pelle Nilsson, Anders Wahlquist and Petter Westlund founded the digital production company B-Reel and Fredrik Heinig and Johannes Åhlund (who then was a partner in St Paul) became partners in the company.

In 2009, they all started a new film production and became B-Reel Films. Today, B-Reel and B-Reel Films are two separate groups with two different ownership constellations.
