About
Hi, I’m Pernille – an award-winning film director and newly educated screenwriter – who thrives on creating stories that make you feel something. Whether it’s a raw, emotional narrative or a creative campaign for a global brand, my goal is always the same: to capture those real, unforgettable moments.
I’ve been fortunate to work across the world - from Scandinavia to Southern Europe and Oceania - and along the way, I’ve learned that every project is an opportunity to push boundaries and have fun while doing it.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me pondering life’s big questions like how astronauts boil eggs in zero gravity. (Spoiler: it involves some creative use of a vacuum-sealed bag.)
If you’re looking for a director who brings creativity, heart, and a strong visual eye to the table, let’s create something amazing together!
