A Swedish film director primarily known for his work in independent horror.

Later in life he studied film and began creating short films during his time in film school, including the horror shorts Love and Safe Haven. His work often blends documentary realism with supernatural or psychological horror themes.

In late 2019, he created Reportage November, a found-footage–style feature film that continues his exploration of documentary-inspired horror narratives.

His films typically combine low-budget independent production with immersive, realistic storytelling, focusing on suspense, folklore, and the unknown.
