“Rule #1 of filmmaking: 
Don’t be an asshole.” - Ellen Kuras, ASC



I have been making short fiction films, music videos, and portrait films since 2013. My process is visual, rhythmic, and intuitive. I’m obsessed with light, subjectivity and creating emotional intensity through cinema.

I trained as a director at the National Film School of Denmark and hold a BFA in Film from NYU Tisch. My professional experience includes assisting filmmakers such as Brian De Palma, Steven Zaillian, and Ellen Kuras, A.S.C.


Below is a selection of my work and examples of the film courses I offer.

Jeg taler også dansk . Et je parle francais.

Workshops for Emerging Filmmakers

I teach in schools, youth film programs, and online, offering workshops and multi-day courses tailored to each context.

With a foundation in film history and feminist practice, we explore how lived experience can be transformed into cinema.
My teaching is centered around curiosity, courage, and personal storytelling.

What matters most to me is that participants develop the confidence to trust their own voice.
