Biography

Magnus Martens (b. 1973, Stord, Norway) has devoted himself to comedy ever since graduating from the London Film School (1993-96). Beyond a career making commercials (for which he is one of Norway´s best established directors and screenwriters), he also writes and directs for television. Having developed a knack for a variety of comic sensibilities over the years, he has honed a unique, well-defined style. His short films and his feature debut United (2003) have been successful with domestic audiences and at international festivals. The Coen-esque movie Jackpot, based on an original story idea by Martens´s renowned and prolific countryman Jo Nesbø, is his third feature film.
