Mia Kofoed-Kristiansen

A blurb from Mia about what's going on in her life.


Just before Christmas my work permit expired and I had not yet received my long-awaited Permanent residency card for Canada. So, with little else to do, I quit my TV job, said bye to friends and packed all my stuff into storage. I'm now living back with my family in Copenhagen. So far, no Danish TV stations, production houses or others recognize my Canadian work experience, so I'm waitressing for the first time since university!


I've been waiting for my visa sinceNovember '05 so I'm hoping it'll come through soon. Immigration, what can I say?! I plan to return toVancouver and continue working in creative business management. Till then, I'm hanging out, baking cakeswith my sister, and venting on my blog !


(In response to queries about rumors that Mia has made movies that have been shown before real audiences!) I have made a few movies in the past. It seems like a long time ago, though. I made some documentaries and shorts while still in university. And I worked on some crappy straight to video action movies together with another company when I first came to Vancovuer..."Premotion" and "Subzero"for Avrio Filmworks The only movie of mine that really hit it off was my 5 minute short film, Icaro. It was playing at the Winnipeg Cinematheque for a season and was in a bunch of festivals, (I even made a profit! who-hoo) but then I left Winnipeg for Vancouver and I became a "little fish in a big pond"and not the other way around anymore!
