John Andreas Andersen
John Andreas started out making short films on Super8, going on to win a national film-competition when 15 years old. That propelled him into following his passion for films and visual storytelling.

Before attending film school, John Andreas worked his way up in the camera-department, including working as assistant camera for 2 times Oscar-winning Swedish cinematographer-legend; Sven Nykvist, ASC. With Sven's recommendation-letter he got into the MFA program at American Film Institute (AFI), graduating in 1998.

Continuing his work as Director of Photography on many award winning features, including «Headhunters» (Morten Tyldum, 2011) and «King of Devil's Island» (Marius Holst, 2010) - John Andreas eventually transitioned to the directors chair. After first shooting the first episodes, then directing the season finale of Netflix-success «Occupied» (2015), his feature film directing debut came with «The Quake» (2018).
