Screen-writer on a number of Danish feature films, including the two Dogme films The King is Alive (2001), selected for Un Certain Regard, Cannes and Mifune (Mifunes sidste sang) (1998), a Grand Prix and Silver Bear winner in Berlin. He has also written the screenplay for Søren Kragh-Jacobsen's Skagerrak (2003), as well as Susanne Bier's Open Hearts (Elsker dig for evigt) (2002).

His contribution to short films is studded with awards: In three consecutive years he had a short film nominated for an Acadamy Award™. These were all written and/or co-directed by Jensen himself and produced by M & M Productions: Ernst & the Light (Ernst & Lyset) (1996), Wolfgang (1998), and Election Night (Valgaften) (1998), the latter being recipient of an Oscar®.

His feature film debut Flickering Lights (Blinkende lygter) (2000) was a box office success, and praised by critics as a brilliant and witty buddy movie. The Green Butchers is Anders Thomas Jensen's second feature film.
