DEREK BANNER

Hi! Welcome to my company website. Here you will learn about some of my work and ideas. I create, develop, and produce ideas for films, TV shows, music, digital concepts, and innovative business concepts never tried before. But before everything else, I am a proud father of two daughters and a husband. I like sport, fitness, running minimum twice a week, travel, socialising and meeting new people. If you like what you read on here and wish to reach out to me, please use the contact info and send me a brief message. Wherever you are, I wish you a happy and prosperous life.

MORE ABOUT ME

When after graduating from Business school I decided to follow my passion for entrepreneurship, with focus on digital media, publishing, ideation, and finally launched my career into film and television, little did I think of was the fact that I was living in a part of the world where there were no ethnic minority film directors, film producers, or TV content creators. I was sort of stepping into an uncharted territory, and I have met and experienced more than a great dose of challenges. But with strong passion and dedication I have demonstrated skills and expertise in devising original ideas and contents for global TV shows which are among the biggest successes out of Scandinavia, such as Minute To Win It on NBC, FRAPA awarded World's most sold studio based gameshow in 2011 and 2012, DUET - When the stars sing with their fans, and Luxury Trap, which is now a Scandinavian classic currently airing with more than 80 seasons combined in Sweden (Lyxfällan), Denmark (Luksusfælden), and Norway (Luksusfellen).

I learned the Ins & Outs of filmmaking by writing filmscripts and producing, directing, editing short films.

In 2002 I founded BUMP, Banner Universal Motion Pictures LTD, LLC (BUMP UK, BUMP USA, Bump Productions), a multimedia company with the mission to create, develop, and produce original TV formats for worldwide distribution and licensing, including TV series, feature films, digital technology concepts, branding, apps, music, etc.

BUMP has to date created a large portfolio of scripted TV series and feature films as well as unscripted TV show formats with global franchise potential, spanning across drama, crime, comedy drama, factual entertainment, gameshow, talent show, cooking, dating, family entertainment, fashion, comedy, gamercial, Fictiality, Reality, Art Contest, etc.

BUMP has created and is developing POST IN PUBLIC™, PIP, the missing link between Social Media and Public Media.

With an increasing competition for subscribers, streaming services and film producers are looking for ways to integrate brand products in movies to generate revenues, eliminate or lower streaming subscription costs, and finance production. But how to use ads in streaming movies without subjecting viewers to interrupting ad breaks? BUMP has identified an effective way that solves this dilemma and introduces BRANDED CREDITS™.

Specialties: Original Intellectual Property Creation, Ideation, Scripted TV series, Unscripted television formats, development, production, co-production, branded content, marketing, branding, brainstorming, digital technology, innovation, publishing, scriptwriting, apps, social media, licensing, negotiation, music, partnerships, TV movies, video editing.

PASSION

One common thing that fuels the mind of an entrepreneur and a creative soul is passion, passion which translates into love, the love of doing something meaningful and exciting. And once you've found that passion you feel the need to share it with like minded souls, the people you trust with your creative work. Setbacks are simply hurdles to overcome, when one door closes you see many more open. That's the power of passion.
