Bernie For­ster

Switzerland

Bernie is a ver­sat­ile writer-dir­ect­or with a pas­sion for com­edy, dram­edy, and his­tor­ic­al drama. After gradu­at­ing from film school in Geneva (HEAD), he worked on films, TV pro­grams, series, and in advert­ising — bring­ing all kinds of top­ics to life through storytelling and humor, and earn­ing numer­ous inter­na­tion­al awards. His series pilot HOUSE OF SWITZER­LAND has received recog­ni­tion world­wide, win­ning Best Com­edy at Bil­bao Series­land and Best Web Series at the Annu­al Glob­al Lift-Off Sea­son Awards. Bernie’s work reflects a deep curi­os­ity about people, soci­ety, and his­tory, using a mix of humor and sin­cer­ity to enter­tain and chal­lenge audiences.

As a seasoned improv act­or he thrives on cre­at­ive col­lab­or­a­tions and spit­ting out ideas on the fly. His pas­sion for lan­guage trans­lates into fre­quent work as a dia­logue writer, like recently for the open­er of the Euro­vi­sion Song Contest.
