Martin’s eclectic life experiences and sensible directorial eye have made him the award-winning director he is today. He manages to fuse beauty and naturalism with humour and oddity to create memorable and unpredictable films. The combination certainly works because he has proven his directorial know-how and been recognized with awards at the Epica, Clio, Cannes Lions, and New York Film festivals; and he has directed ads for the likes of McDonald’s, Nokia, Budweiser, Johnny Walker, and Peugeot. Martin excels at imbuing his films with both humanity and beauty—making him a sought-after director for those who want both style and substance in their commercials. Born in Denmark, Martin has lived in Hong Kong, the United States, and Barcelona before returning to his roots in Copenhagen, where he currently resides with his family.
