About Fansu

Fansu Njie is an award-winning, Swedish film director whose career spans two decades. Old Westerns, Kung Fu movies and Sci-Fi horrors greatly influenced his modern approach. He built his discipline and work ethics through many years of martial art training and its philosophy.

Adepted as a Steadicam operator, and a DoP, Fansu quickly accelerated into directing and content development. With great respect for each craft, Fansu quickly builds strong teams that work well in production. Regarded as a serious commercial director in the Swedish market, his credits include hundreds of TV commercials, music videos and short films. Additionally, Fansu directed the multi award-winning Bad Dreams (Prime-Time SVT), Crackaparkz (Swedens First Hip Hop Comedy Feature) and a host of award-winning shorts.

In 2020 he produced and directed the action-packed Scandinavian feature "Last Man Down". The trailer itself went viral, gathering a huge interest and gained millions of views in just a few weeks and was published in film media across the globe. The film was released by Saban Films US/UK in October 2021, then later on Netflix and SF Studios Scandinavia in February 2022. It became a huge success on Netflix - ranked as #3 on Netflix top-10-list in UK, and climbed to the top-10-list in all major international regions (US, UK, Australia etc) just in the first week of its Netflix release, and kept that position for 10 days.
