Andreas Nilsson

Andreas’ 2013 spot “The Epic Split” for Volvo Trucks shattered convention and instantly went viral, garnering over 76 million views on YouTube (and counting), hitting every major “Best of the Year” list in the ad world, and racking up awards including a Cannes Grand Prix. His original live installation “Cut Through L.A.” for Nike – involving staging over forty Chris Paul lookalikes in a freeze-frame along the Venice Beach Boardwalk – created a lot of buzz and earned an AICP Next Award. Most recently, his moving “Emily’s Oz” spot for Comcast earned a bronze Lion at Cannes for titanium and integrated, while his humorous “Dadsong” for Old Spice netted a gold Lion for film. Beyond commercials, Andreas has also worked with dozens of musicians from Kanye West to Moby to create provocative music videos where the only thing to expect is the unexpected. He has also designed stages, video projections and costumes for the acclaimed Fever Ray world tour and for the Royal Theatre in Stockholm.

Having devoted time to an eclectic range of work throughout his career, Andreas’ background and skills as a fine artist permeate all aspects of his filmmaking – from the incredibly detailed set designs to the gorgeous visuals and handmade costumes that appear in much of his work. His depth lends itself to an unparalleled vision and sense of humor that cannot be replaced.
