Kasper Häggstrom joins Epoch Films UK
Epoch Films UK signs director Kasper Häggstrom for UK/European Representation
Director Kasper Häggstrom has been a star in the Norwegian comedy and storytelling circuit for a while now and like all the best and most biting comedy, Häggstrom draws on a mix of real-life observations and tongue-in-cheek moments.
There are levels to Häggstrom's work, in the nuanced performances he achieves to the multi-layered comedic timings he plays around with. His work plays with the viewer, hinging on the edge of commercial, comedic short and arthouse.
Häggstrom's video for Kelly Lee Owens Throwing Lines, has steadily risen to cult level status and won the prestigious UKMVA in 2018 for Best Dance Video (Newcomer). Most recently, Häggstrom's Radiohead video If You Say The Word won the 2022 UKMVA for best alternative video. It's a previously unreleased track from the album Kid A Mnesia.
Häggstrom said: "I’m very excited to join Epoch. I’ve had a great time making music videos in the UK and I’m looking forward to making a transition into the world of ad-making."
Epoch Films MD / EP, Nick Fewtrell adds: "We are honoured and thrilled to have Kasper join the Epoch UK family. Fresh from his VMA success with Radiohead he brings a wonderful understanding of the beautiful filmic worlds he creates. His nuanced comedic undertones, coupled with his strong visual identity make him a perfect fit for the Epoch UK ethos and roster moving forward. Welcome Kasper!"
