The Producers
Rasmus Dinesen - Director
Rasmus graduated from the European film college in 1998. He started out producing and directing music videos, commercials and television. He made his first feature documentary in 2003 with The Forbidden Team about the first Tibetan national football team. Following this he made the portraits of the Danish 3* chef Rasmus Kofoed winning the Bocuse d’Or and Danish bass legend Hugo Rasmussen. From 2015 to 2017 he directed the TV-series ‘Star Chefs’ followed by feature documentary Michelin Stars: Tales from the Kitchen on Michelin starred restaurants, chefs and the famous guide.
Rasmus’ films have been selected for numerous festivals and receiving multiple awards over the years, with Michelin Stars opening the Culinary Zinema section of San Sebastian International Film Festival and later winning LA-based ‘The Taste Awards’ for best international feature.
There those who bemoan its snobbery - but the Michelin guide is still valued by many. And love it or hate it, its draw as marketing tool is undeniable: the awarding or removing of a Michelin star can mean fame or disaster for a restaurant. Step into the kitchens of top-class restaurants, for a masterclass on what it means to be a Michelin-starred restaurant today, and the lengths chefs will go to obtain the coveted accolade.
