Revolutio

I’m a Filmmaker, Director and Layout / previs artist with 20 years of experience in making Feature Films, International Series, Film and Game Cinematics, Music Videos and Commercials.

I was born in Denmark, the land of vikings.

My love of visual language has been a driving force through out my career. I like to see the camera as a canvas with endless possibilities.

Lately I’ve had the absolute privilege to be able to call myself an “Unreal filmmaker”

I'm super excited to have been selected be part of the “Unreal Fellowship” Virtual Production program by Epic games.
It's such a pleasure for me to be part of this journey progressing film, animation, and VFX in to the future and be able to build teams using leading technologies and techniques in the emerging field of real-time production.
