Martin Aamund

Martin’s eclectic life experiences and sensible directorial eye have made him the award-winning director he is today. His knack for true-to-life emotional storytelling flourished when he started his film career directing documentary films for Channel 4 in the UK and France’s Canal Plus. His work is a unique form of artful realism, where oddities and the deftly surreal manifest and toy with the mind. Whatever his method, it has worked out for him. Audiences love the hard-to-define humor and style of his work. His directorial know-how has been recognized with awards at the Cannes Lions, Epica, Clio, and New York Film festivals; and he has directed ads for the likes of Budweiser, Johnny Walker, Nikon, San Pellegrino, T-Mobile, Sky and Peugeot. Born in Denmark, Martin lived in Hong Kong, the United States, and Barcelona before returning to his roots in Copenhagen, where he currently resides with his family.
