Lone Wrede Scherfig was born in 1959 in Denmark, scherfig graduated from the Danish Film School in 1984 and had her debut as a film director with Kaj's fødselsdag (The Birthday Trip) in 1990. But Scherfig did not hit international success until 2000 with her film Italian for beginners which was a romantic comedy that won 20 awards and an amazing 21 nominations. What might have made the film so successful was that attracted people due to the fact they had abolished props, lights and costumes from the set of the film. The film was an overall success with critics and audiences around the world. This success made Scherfig's next film be her first ever English-language film which was entitled "Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself" which was released in 2002 and shot in Scotland.Scherfig is not only a director as she has worked as a crew member, assistant director and a writer. Scherfig's great uncle was Hans Scherfig who was a celebrated writer for his works from the 1970's.
