Info

I entered the world of film-making as a child actor in the Disney Movie Shipwrecked, and later went on to study film directing in Denmark and London. Following the screening of my short films on the global festival circuit, I transitioned into advertising.

Since, I have directed global campaigns for some of the world's leading brands, including Adidas, Mercedes-Benz, Timberland Pro, Universal Studios, Netflix, and Philips. I have also worked as a creative director on a number of projects.

I love suspending disbelief and developing stories with talented people. My devotion to making and crafting films means I can work and adapt to all genres and formats. I see variety and creating films for everything from social channels to TVCs to experiential experiences as one of my major strengths.

I studied an MA in Interactive Media at The London College of Communication and am excited by digital and interactive projects that push the boundaries of user experience beyond that of a linear film.

In addition to working with some of the most fantastic agencies, creatives, production companies and brands, I have collaborated with musicians, artists, designers, and developers to make a variety of film, interactive projects, and real-world projects over the years. My latest foray into virtual production has inspired me to learn Unreal Engine and leverage AI visualizations, both of which I am excited to explore further.

I have grown up in NYC and London, and spent many years living in Oslo and Berlin. This diverse background has shaped my perspective and given me an understanding of different cultures and audiences.
