Space Rocket Nation

Space Rocket Nation is a Danish film production company founded in 2008 by producer Lene Børglum and filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn. The company was created after Børglum and Refn collaborated on Valhalla Rising, Refn's 2009 feature film. Its name is associated with auteur-driven cinema, documentaries, short fiction, and television production connected to filmmakers working across Denmark and international markets. The company's production slate includes projects directed by Refn as well as work by other directors. Its documented credits range from the documentary Nuka Eskimo Diva and the short film Tabu in 2012 to Refn's feature films Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon. Space Rocket Nation also produced My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a documentary directed by Liv Corfixen that follows Refn during the making and promotion of Only God Forgives. The company later participated in the television series Too Old to Die Young, created by Refn and Ed Brubaker, and in the Danish feature film Into the Darkness, directed by Anders Refn. The company occupies a position within independent and auteur-oriented screen production rather than mass-market studio entertainment. Its credits show an emphasis on distinctive directors, visually stylized projects, documentary access to filmmaking, and productions that can circulate beyond Denmark. Refn-related work forms a significant part of the publicly documented catalogue, but the company's slate also demonstrates collaboration with filmmakers including Lene Stæhr, Bo Mikkelsen, Liv Corfixen, and Anders Refn. Publicly available reference material identifies the company's founding and productions but provides limited information about its current corporate structure, headquarters, ownership, financial performance, staff, distribution arrangements, or present operating status. Those details are therefore not asserted here.

Space Rocket Nation was founded in Denmark in 2008 by producer Lene Børglum and director Nicolas Winding Refn. The company followed their collaboration on Valhalla Rising and provided a production platform for projects associated with Refn and other filmmakers. Its publicly documented history is primarily represented through its screen credits rather than through extensive corporate disclosures. In 2012, the company was associated with two contrasting productions: Lene Stæhr's documentary Nuka Eskimo Diva and Bo Mikkelsen's short fiction film Tabu. These credits indicate that the company was not limited to feature films and could support both nonfiction and shorter-form work. The company subsequently produced or participated in several prominent projects linked to Nicolas Winding Refn. Only God Forgives was released in 2013, followed by the documentary My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn in 2014. Directed by Liv Corfixen, the documentary presents a personal filmmaking perspective connected to Refn's work and extends the company's catalogue into documentary production. Refn's feature film The Neon Demon followed in 2016. Space Rocket Nation later expanded its documented output into television with Too Old to Die Young, a 2019 series created by Nicolas Winding Refn and Ed Brubaker. The company was also connected with Into the Darkness, a 2020 film directed by Anders Refn, demonstrating collaboration beyond Nicolas Winding Refn's own directing work. Available reference material does not establish a detailed chronology of corporate changes, ownership transfers, office locations, distribution partnerships, financial results, or the company's current activity. Its known identity is therefore best understood through its role as a Danish independent production company and through the films, documentary projects, short fiction, and television work credited to it.
