HENRIK HANSON

Henrik Hanson is a Swedish director. Growing up in Stockholm he built a great interest for film while watching continuous hours of 90's movies. In his boys’ room he made short films with his friends.

While working at his mother’s dance school he learnt the discipline of being a creative, but also introduced him to the world of editing. At the age of 15 he made his first long form short which got into the hands of Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund. And soon enough he was working at the renowned production film company RAF. At RAF he worked alongside with some of the most successful directors in Scandinavia, if not the world, directors such as Johan Renck & Jonas Åkerlund. 

After receiving a scholarship from the Wallenberg Foundation, he packed his bags and moved to New York to study screenwriting at School of Visual Arts, which earned him a BFA with honors. After graduating he moved back to Sweden and a few years later Bleck Films Stockholm signed him as a director. 

As a director Henrik's work includes commercials and music videos for artists and brands such as Miller, Axe, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Seinabo Sey, Jarlsberg and Bjorn Borg.
