I'm a director, writer and actor, living in Oslo, Norway - but happy to work internationally. I'm an Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (London) and New York Film Academy (Universal Studios, LA) alumni.
My first short film as a writer/director "Love You to Death" ("Elsker deg til døde") premiered at Golden State Film Festival at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in March 2019, where it won Best Foreign Language Short.
The film is available worldwide on Prime Video and Google Play.
I've also made the short films Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (2019) and Waves (Bølgeblikk) in 2021.
As an actor I've been in Beforeigners (HBO) and Lilyhammer (Netflix), amongst other Norwegian TV shows. I have a series regular role on comedy show Coda Kork, on Norwegian NRK.
I'm currently developing a dramedy TV show, "Restart", and have written two feature scripts (in English).
Unique traits: Professional yoga teacher and pilates instructor.
Elsa Historical ⋄ Drama Ellen inherits an aunt she's never heard of. Who is the mysterious Elsa? "Elsa" is a drama about being true to yourself and your beliefs, even if they do not match societies expectations of how a woman should live her life. "Elsa" is a parallel story, switching from Ellen's life in the present, and her aunt, Elsa's, life in the past, following her from childhood during WW2 in Norway, to being a psychiatric nurse in Berlin, and becoming a spy during the Cold War.

Twenty five years later, the body of Leo, one of the social workers from the home they lived in as teens, is found in the lake. It looks like a murder, but who would kill a social worker, who only ever wanted to help people?
