Veslemøy Ruud Zwart

Veslemoey Zwart, a powerhouse Norwegian producer who bridges the creative realms of Los Angeles and Oslo. As the founder of Zwart Arbeid and Motion Blur, Veslemoey is known for her fearless storytelling, innovation, and hands-on approach to filmmaking.

One of her standout achievements was going undercover in Cuba to capture the hidden voices of “Las Damas de Blanco,” the brave wives of imprisoned dissidents. This daring documentary underscored her commitment to telling stories that matter, even at personal risk. But that’s not all. Veslemoey isn't just a producer sitting behind the scenes—she’s often right in the thick of things, whether it’s helping serve meals to extras, building sets, or even jumping behind the wheel as a stunt driver. Her energy, versatility, and passion for every detail of the process set her apart.

Beyond her own productions, Veslemoey has been instrumental in cultivating new talent across Scandinavia, helping shape the careers of notable directors like Roenberg (of Kon Tiki fame), Stefan Treschow, and Harald Zwart. Her influence extends far beyond Norway, thanks to her leadership as CEO of Motion Blur Inc., Los Angeles, where she continues to acquire exciting IP-rights, including the much-anticipated "Egalia's Daughters" project—a bold exploration of gender roles based on the iconic Scandinavian novel.

With a deep academic background, including a Master’s in Criminology from the University of Oslo, Veslemoey’s creative vision is underscored by her intellectual rigor and passion for societal issues, evident in her groundbreaking thesis on the private prison industry.

Whether she’s on set rolling up her sleeves, championing young female filmmakers, or developing compelling stories with a global impact, Veslemoey Zwart is a force to be reckoned with.
