I edited several social media and TV commercials for Sónar Reykjavík 2017, 2018 and 2019, about 40 artist stingers and promo clips in total.
Produced, directed and concepted this advertisement for Húsasmiðjan hardware store for their World Cup 2018 campaign.
Also oversaw publication and releases for television, as well as social media.
Produced and directed this send-up of a Mitchell & Webb sketch for magazine football show on Channel 2 Iceland in 2018. First advertisement I directed.
I was approached by Converse to produce this featurette for their campaign Rubber Tracks.
Mexican band Vaya Futuro was flown to Iceland to work with renowned record producer Ben Allen in the legendary Greenhouse Studios, while being filmed fly-on-the-wall-style by a small documentary crew produced by me.
