Awarded the SILVER NYMPH in Monte Carlo for BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY for his debut: Comedy drama Eddie Holm's Second Life for Denmark's largest TV station DR, directed by Esben Høilund-Carlsen, and the Danish TV Movie that's been MOST VIEWED WORLD-WIDE. (The Danish TV drama production that comes closest is Matador.)

“A wry, bittersweet comedy, stuffed with laughs that travel lightheartedly beyond the program’s native Denmark. Includes a refreshingly original series of situations, one- liners, well-bred winks, poignant romance and suspense. A deserved Nymph. "

— VARIETY

Collaborated for 2 years with Erik Balling and Henning Bahs as script consultant at NORDIC FILM COMPANY (the world's oldest film company) invited by film director Erik Balling (Denmark's most popular film director - Matador, Olsen Banden) after he viewed Eddie Holm’s Second Life.

Single-writer EUROPEAN SCRIPT FUND AWARD, British Film Institute, for the action comedy thriller Herforth & Jensen:
"...a rare and special thing...an original and quirky proposal. The writing is technically accomplished, with a style that is punchy and exciting. A pacey comedy thriller. The dialogue moves quickly with depth of insight and clear, unmistakable humour. Tightly written with a strong and arresting story line. Has commercial sense. Avoids circus clown humour and espouses humour seen in acceptable and recognisable human shortcomings. A welcome change from the lacklustre run of submissions from Denmark so far.

DEREK FREY, e.g., licensed Bjarne O.'s music through AudioSparx (Associate Producer: Tim Burton's CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, CORPSE BRIDE and SWEENY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET- Co-Producer: the critically acclaimed FRANKENWEENIE, among others.)

“Bjarne O. unfolds some very dramatic pictures in his almost symphonic orchestra-like compositions. I clearly see a movie before my eyes when I listen to Bjarne O.’s picturesque sound collages, and we don’t find ourselves in the melodramatic department. Bjarne O.’s music is fascinating and deeply moving at the same time.”

— Brian Mikkelsen, The Minister of Cultural Affairs in Denmark
