Documentary film director

 

 

 

I started out as documentary-maker in 1998, working for a local television station in Copenhagen. As well as documentaries, I got to film and direct short films and music videos for Sweet-Silent-Studios and adverts for National Television.

 

In 2002 I got a degree in Multimedia Design, followed in 2005 by a BA in Film Science. All the while, I worked in the Danish film industry as camera assistant, editing assistant, and editor on adverts.

 

What I mostly look for is an inner/personal battle of a character, which is being fought out in an outer/case-related story. This makes it possible for the character to reflect his/her personality, development, feelings, etc, in something that the viewer is familiar with; as in my graduation film - the lies regarding the motives for invading Iraq.

 

I am based in London working in the UK as well as Denmark. I’m currently making a documentary film for The Danish Film Institute called I remember nothing - but I can’t forget it.more...
