Martin hails from Denmark where he graduated from the National Film School.  In 2007 he directed the 25min short ‘We who stayed behind’ and the 45min ‘Young man Falling’, the latter of which was selected for the Critics Week in Cannes.  His commercial for IKEA won 'Best Direction' at the Creative Circle Awards in 2008 and he won a number of awards at the 2009 MVA’s including 'Best Director’, and a D&AD Pencil on his video for Will Young. 

He has recently directed promos for James Blake and Feist, and collaborated with fashion label BLK DNM on 2 short films.  Beyond the accolades thing, what stays in your mind is Martin’s visual language. It is unlike any other.  Whether a commercial, short film or music video, his films are startling and poetic.
