Originally a professional dancer and choreographer, Michael’s passion for film began as a “plan B” but quickly took center stage. From filming dance classes, he quickly grew into directing music videos, commercials, and short films—while also assisting world-renowned directors such as Niklas Larson, Harmony Korine, and Tom Kuntz, thereby becoming a trusted and highly valued team player.
As a director, Michael offers a distinctive vision, seamlessly blending movement and emotion on screen. His eye for movement allows him to create a dynamic interplay between camera and choreography, transforming physicality into a powerful storytelling tool. Yet, as seen in Malin & Oskar and his other shorts, his creative range extends far beyond choreography.
Known for his social ease and warm presence, Michael brings energy and positivity both on and off set. And if you ever find yourself with him and a PC, be warned: he might just remind you why he was once a world-class, top-ranked e-gamer.
