Before commencing his screenwriting career, Alexander Havelda graduated with a masters in international politics and political philosophy and began a path towards diplomacy. However, feeling increasingly drawn to storytelling, Havelda started working as a ghost writer for debate articles, and as a copywriter.

Meanwhile Havelda worked with Burkinabé-French filmmaker Dani Kouyaté for many years, learning how to write for film from him. He then decided to focus whole-heartedly on his screenwriting and has since developed and sold numerous projects to different production companies. In 2022, the comedy drama TV Series Korridoren premiered on C More, of which Havelda is creator and writer.

2021 saw the premiere of Havelda’s Czech short Can You Still Feel the Butterflies?, which has been screened at a multitude of festivals and exhibitions and won prestigious awards.

In his writing, Havelda likes to play with crude humor, balancing on the edge of what is taboo, often with an undertone of political and existential elements.

Havelda is currently working on two drama TV series with Unlimited Stories, a feature film with Jan Marnell and Right2Screen, and a comedy TV series with Toni Prince (Språk för alla).
