2016 Danish film From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bakerman is a feature film written and directed by David Noel Bourke.[2] It stars Mikkel Vadsholt as Jens, alongside Siir Tilif, Brian Hjulmann, and Mia Lerdam. The movie evolved from a previous project, White Pig, whose scope was too large to shoot independently, so the filmmaker took one character and developed a movie about him.[3]

Jens (Mikkel Vadsholdt) is a reclusive night-owl. In the midst of a mid-life crisis, the quality of his work as a baker begins to decline. When a group of young people smash the window of his car, his temper breaks and he knocks one of them out. Jens finds new purpose through vigilantism, leading him down a destructive path.[1]
Bakerman had its world premier at CPH:PIX.[4] The official Irish premier was at the Dingle International Film Festival in 2017, where the director also participated in a special Independent Journey panel to discuss the making of this feature film along with other filmmakers.[5]
