I’m a Norwegian film director and creative living in Oslo. I direct pretty much anything that sparks joy—commercials, short films, music videos, live concerts, and beyond. My short films have screened at festivals both at home and internationally, and when it comes to commercial work, I’m proudly represented by Einar Film in Norway. For me, it’s all about having fun while telling stories that resonate.
