Theis G. Holmstrup and Jes B. Bach are a writer-director duo who grew up together in a small town in Denmark. From here they first began collaborating on experimental – and often bad – short films. They later graduated from the Danish film school VIA Film & Transmedia and, in 2021, founded their own production company, Styrvolt. They now work full-time as writers and directors, producing brand films, short films, and sketches.

In 2021, they released Salamiboy, an experimental, genre-bending comedy web series created in collaboration with a local broadcaster. In 2022, they won “Netflix Serieskolen” with their series concept Faker, and in 2023 they produced Master Sensei, an ambitious action-comedy developed with the regional film fund.

Their projects are often characterized by dark and absurdist humor. However, with their latest project, Things to Worry About, they aim to bring a more dramatic and intimate perspective to their creative work – while still maintaining their signature humor and passion for experimenting with genres.
