POSTS STORIES REELS

A lot can happen in two years.

In the first photo, taken in 2024, my head was full of questions.

Career: Why aren’t things moving faster? Am I doing enough?

Love: Am I becoming the man and partner I want to be?

Family: Will we ever get to hold a little one in our arms, or do we just give up?

Fast forward two years.

I’m working on projects I once only dreamed of. I married the love of my life. And we finally welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world 🫶🏻

Same lake. Same guy. A very different view.

Life isn’t necessarily easier. I sleep less, worry about entirely new things, and have officially been demoted to supporting actor in my own home.

But somehow, everything feels lighter.

Two years ago, I stood here wondering when everything would fall into place.

Today, I’m standing in the exact same spot, holding everything I was hoping for.

And for once, I’m in no hurry to get anywhere else ❤️

A @filmvaerkstedkbh film. by @niels.justesen

“DYNASTIET MÆRSK”

Ny serie på DR. Mega fed produktion, skynd jer at se den! Jeg er med sammen med nogle sindssygt dygtige mennesker både foran og bag kameraet. Et stærkt og dramatisk portræt af familie, politik, kærlighed og ikke mindst Danmarkshistorie.

Kæmpe tak til @tikimedia samt @josefinefeldballe og Lars Feldballe for at have mig med endnu engang 🤍

Instrueret af @johannesfonnesberg & Giacomo Campeotto.
Casting af @butlercastingdenmark2025

Shoutout til @oscardgiese, @actormartinfrislevammitsbol og @thomas_ernst for både at være nice – og sådan helt absurd dygtige.

@camilahentze.dk – du tvinger mig altid til at fjerne skægget, men det ender jo med at se ret fedt ud… fordi du er pisse god 👏🏼

Sometimes, we have to lose our way - to find each other again.

This is LOST.
A short film about love, distance, and what holds when everything slips.
Inspired by real moments.
If you’ve ever LOST before - this film is for you.

By @niels.justesen & @victoreliasthomsen.

Full film now out.

TEASER

What started as a creative exercise turned into something much more personal.

A short film about what we lose — and what we find again.

LOST

A film about finding our way back to each other —
when something gets lost between us.

Created in two hours, with only two people and two cameras.

A story based on real events — about vulnerability, trust,
and the things that keep us connected,
even when we lose our footing.

By @victoreliasthomsen & @niels.justesen

Full film out 2/11-2025.

Det her projekt var noget særligt.

Har været en del af “Giften i sandet” på TV2 – et dokudrama med utroligt dygtige mennesker både foran og bag kameraet. En produktion med kant, varme og noget på hjerte. Jeg vil varmt anbefale at se den for et historisk (og aktuelt) indblik i Cheminova sagen.

Produceret af altid top professionelle og søde @josefinefeldballe og @tikimediadk.
Instrueret af Giacomo Campeotto og Martin Sundstrøm.
Casting af @butlercastingdenmark2025 – og en særlig tak til knivskarpe @frederikkedavid for at få det hele til at glide så mega nice!

Og hey! @camillahentze.dk aka “Ulla fra borgerservice” - DK’s skarpeste page - der altid formår at gøre mig pænere, end jeg er uden skæg! 🫶🏻😂🙏🏼

Stor oplevelse. Tak for tilliden.

“Og hovedstøtten, den er også god!” (and the head-rest, uh yeah that works!” 😂

Working on a project with @victoreliasthomsen - challenging ourselves to create a little story just two people. How much can we say in just a few minutes with one actor and a one-person crew?

Who can guess what the story is about judging from these snippets?

Always training skills.
Preparing myself.
Staying sharp in mind & body.
Krav Maga keeps me quick.
… while always having fun and getting my ass kicked.
