Charlotte Windle Mikkelborg

Film and Immersive Director

There are few people in the world who can likely predict the future of storytelling as well as Charlotte Mikkelborg, who has spent the last decade continuously pioneering how such a future could look with her cutting-edge work at the intersection of the TV, film and immersive experiences.‘The stories don’t change, what changes is the way we enable audiences to experience them. Emerging technology has given us opportunities to invite audiences into the story, to make them fully present, viscerally experiencing the emotional beats of storytelling like never before.”
From directing the very first immersive concert for the world’s biggest band, ‘Coldplay: Music of the Spheres – An Immersive Experience’, to directing the first Apple TV originals series for the Apple Vision Pro spatial computing device, ‘Adventure’, to winning the SXSW Innovation Award for designing the original multisensory narrative AR game ‘Time Detectives’, Charlotte is a relentless innovator. She first gained recognition as a BBC foreign correspondent before more recently becoming known for her work designing, producing and directing critically acclaimed film and immersive experiences. Charlotte has worked on pushing the boundaries of storytelling for leading entertainment, music, commercial and social impact clients including Apple, Coldplay, Meta, British Airways and the United Nations.
Charlotte chairs the Oxford University Media Committee, is a guest tutor/mentor on University College London’s Immersive MA, the Google/Youtube Creators Lab and at SXSW Film Festival.
