One of Denmark’s most popular exports, he co-founded Bacon in 2001, a production company based in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. A son of of two therapists, Martin used to secretly watch their tapes.  Perhaps as a result, he possesses a keen sensitivity and perspective of the human condition that he gorgeously translates into his filmmaking, imbuing it with a visceral quality that elevates and distinguishes his work.

Regardless of genre, pace or technique, he meets each film with seemingly indefatigable energy and all heart. Highly awarded, incredibly prolific, with a level of professionalism second to none, his directorial body of work is exceptional in both range and calibre.
