Andreas J. Riiser
Director
Andreas J. Riiser has got experience from directing feature- and short films, TV-episodes and -pilots, humor in all lengths, including plus 120 commercial films. He has been nominated twice for Amanda and his fiction films have won numerous awards at festivals around the world, including Gold Hugo at Chicago International Film Festival and The Norwegian Film Critic Award at the national Short Film Festival.
A few facts you couldn’t tell by just looking at Andreas:
He might seem Norwegian, but he actually is Danish-Stovnersk.
Andreas feels a great kindship with mallards and loves watching ducks landing on icy lakes (please send links).
He recently took the C-drivers license to fit all his kids into the biggest RV available.
He's got 120 commercial films under his belt, resulting in 6 Golds, 5 Silvers & 3 Bronzes in Cannes Lions / Epica Awards, plus 2 Goldfishes / 12 Silverfishes in Norway.
Oh, and he's a deer hunter, so you'll find Andreas at his happiest & humblest when a nut is cracked during edit, and in the autumn walking the mountains before sunrise.
In 1998 Andreas ran past the guards to crash Spice Girls' Oslo concert together with a mormon-girlfriend. She was supercool, but the flirt ended when it turned out that her father was a psychic. (A fact!) Poor Andreas.
