Dupe VFX appoints Jesper Kjölsrud as VFX Supervisor, Expanding Creative Leadership and Nordic Footprint
Visual effects studio Dupe VFX has announced the appointment of Jesper Kjölsrud as VFX Supervisor. A seasoned industry professional with over two decades of experience, Jesper brings deep creative and technical expertise across film and episodic work.
With a background in 3D, Jesper’s track record of delivering visually ambitious work has built a reputation for creative leadership, technical excellence, and collaborative problem-solving. His credits include the visually ambitious series The Man Who Fell to Earth, where he led sequences from initial concept through to final delivery – including the creation of the alien planet Anthea. His work on the show, along with Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, earned him two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Special Visual Effects.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Jesper to Dupe. With his wealth of experience as a VFX Supervisor and deep industry connections, he’ll play a pivotal role in advancing Dupe’s momentum as the studio continues to build toward more ambitious VFX projects across a growing slate of high-profile shows. Based in Sweden, Jesper also strengthens our plans to expand into the region and tap into the incredible talent there – just as soon as we can convince him to step off the golf course”
Jonathan Harris, CEO of Dupe VFX
“I’m really excited to be joining Dupe VFX at such a pivotal time. The strong foundation, talented team, and company values all align perfectly with where I see myself growing. I’m looking forward to helping Dupe push into even higher-end work, and I’ve no doubt we’ll not only succeed together, but have a lot of fun along the way.”
