ONE TAKE. ONE FUTURE.

ONE TAKE. ONE FUTURE. LAURA ALMSTRUP DIRECTS POWERFUL CALL TO ACTION ALONGSIDE &CO.

Science meets style in Laura Almstrup’s dystopian one-take film for Engineer the Future.

The 26 year old FERN.-director Laura Almstrup brings a bold and visually arresting new campaign to life for Engineer the Future, in collaboration with creative agency &Co. / NoA. The film dives headfirst into the invisible yet urgent issues shaping our world today – from microplastics and heavy metals to phthalates and climate change – and does so through the lens of the generation who will lead the charge toward solutions.

Almstrup’s film takes viewers on a one-take journey through a slightly dystopian, everyday setting, guided by a young protagonist who uncovers the hidden consequences of our modern lifestyle. With atmospheric tension, stylized characters, and a cinematic eye, the campaign creates a sense of both urgency and empowerment.

“I’m so proud of this project,” says Almstrup. “It was a huge honor to build a campaign that not only looks visually strong but also delivers a meaningful message. These environmental topics are deeply personal to me – and being able to spotlight them while celebrating the next generation of problem-solvers is incredibly powerful.”

The campaign, created for Danish non-profit Engineer the Future, is a call to action – not just to acknowledge the problems, but to recognize the role of science, engineering, and innovation in solving them.

Backed by a stellar team on set from FERN. and the agency &Co. / NoA, the production merges purpose with craft, making complex issues accessible and emotionally resonant. The result is a striking reminder of the challenges ahead – and the people already rising to meet them.
