MGM & BermanBraun Sign TV Production Deal, First-Look … 
ProSiebenSat.1´s production and distribution company Red Arrow Entertainment Group has acquired a majority stake in manager/producer Mikkel Bondesen’s U.S. production company Fuse. The Denmark-born Bondesen launched his U.S. production company in 2005. Its credits include USA’s Burn Notice and Fox’s The Good Guys, both created by Bondesen’s client Matt Nix, as well as AMC’s The Killing, whose format Bondesen brought to the U.S. from Denmark. All three series have been produced by Fox TV Studios, where Bondesen and Fuse have a first-look deal. Since its January 2010 launch, Red Arrow has been acquiring TV production companies and now owns majority stake in 12 companies spanning eight countries. Its first move in the U.S. was last year’s acquisition of 51% interest in Chris Coelen’s Kinetic Content, which specializes in unscripted series. The Fuse deal gives Red Arrow a similar foothold in the U.S. marketplace on the scripted side. As part of the Fuse deal, Swedish producer Henrik Bastin (ABC’s My Generation) has joined Fuse as partner and CEO and the company’s development executive Kristen Campo has been upped to partner.

I worked with Mikkel and Kristen on the Killing and you will not find two more dedicated or passionate producers. Always nice to see independent producers getting their due. Congrats to you both.
Still serving the koolaid, eh?
Mikkel is a great guy. Whether you are an assistant, agent, client or exec, he treats everyone the way one would hope to be treated. Chalk one up for the good guys!
Congrats to a guy who will stab you in your back and smile a creepy smile and hug you while doing it.
5 partners in 5 years. This won’t end well. What a huckster.
i worked as an assistant for Mikkel and unlike the comment above this one. He treated me like i was below him. If you werent at his perceived level he looked down on you. If you didn’t help him rise he walked right past you. Don’t let his facade fool you. Totally a phony guy. Not a single shred of real. All puffery and his voodoo shtick. Some believe it for a minute and then when you think about it is mostly BS.
How does he do it. I have been confused for years. I signed with him at Fuse and have first hand knowledge of Mikkel. He is passionate fellow but it is all surface interaction. I read all the posts on him that point out how different he is and agree he is different. his value proposition isn’t for most. In fact its not worth much. Use him yo get a show on the air. Not as a mgr. Hwe doesn’t do much for most of his “clients”. Get a life coach if you need one. He is not a life coach. Has no training as a life coach. Great job Mikkel getting this deal. Hope this helps others. I’m staying away.
