I enterd the world of film-making as a child actor in a Disney movie, 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 got into advertising. Since then, I have directed 60+ international campaigns.


I love suspending disbelief and developing stories with talented people. My devotion for making and crafting films means I work and can adapt to all genres and formats. I see variety and creating films for everything from social channels to TVC's to experiential experiences as one of my major strengths. Hopefully the films on this site reflect my thinking and approach to these diverse mix of projects.


I studied an MA in Interactive Media at The London College of Communication and get excited by digital and interactive projects which, push the boundaries and user experience beyond that of a linear film. In addition to working with some of the most fantastic agencies, creatives 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.

I am Norwegian, living in Berlin, who grew up in NYC and London and spent many years living in Oslo and Stockholm.
