Film director & writer

CV

I make films about the moment a story becomes reality.

Profile

Danish film director and writer trained at Super16. My work explores how images, performance, fear and belief shape what groups of people accept as real.

I combine fiction filmmaking with historical research and an interest in the societal implications of AI. Across those fields, I return to the same question: how do stories move from representation into reality?
