Gladsaxe-born-and-raised Danish-Pakistani film and television producer ASGER HUSSAIN shares his path from Copenhagen to New York to Los Angeles, where early on in New York, he began his producing career working for director Lee Daniels and on the Oscar-winning film Precious in 2010. Asger recalls his single most rewarding experience producing Five Fingers of Marseilles (2017), and articulates the difference between film and television production.

Asger selects a work by Jesper Rasmussen from the SMK collection.
