Hello!And welcome to the bottom.Or rather...I'd prefer to call it my humble beginnings.I was fortunate enough to get a job as a concession stand worker at the Grand Theatre in Randers.And I remember being the only boy working at the stand, as at the time, I didn't have the upper body strength to lift heavy film reels as a technician. However, my employers were kind enough to frame it by telling me I was excellent at customer service.All in all, it was a wonderful job where I had to:• Serve customers• Sell tickets• Create experiences• Manage inventory• Geek out on filmsA great workplace with good colleagues!On and off, I stayed with Nordisk Film for more than 10 years, with breaks for travel and studies.
