about
I'm Christian Søgaard, and direcot and writer , that has found my niche at the intersection of the conceptual and the tangible, crafting stories that challenge and captivate. My work transforms the everyday into the artistically sublime, where each visual and narrative choice is deliberate and meaningful.
As a self-thought creative in the film industry and my journey has taken me through writing, directing, cinematography and editing. Each role has sharpened my approach to storytelling, establishing me among a new generation of distinctive artists.
My inspiration springs from the subtle intricacies of life—the kind of music that gets stuck with me, the colours that breathe life into my work, and the abstract images that spark my creativity. These elements are the bedrock of my passion for storytelling and building narratives that captivate and resonate.
I'm particularly drawn to characters breaking societal norms and stereotypes. My films aim to present individuals who are not only thought-provoking and endearing but also defy stereotypes. My work celebrates human complexity and diversity, opening a window to many stories.
Before I dove into the world of filmmaking, I honed my skills in the advertising sector as a creative and photographer. That experience taught me how to engage audiences effectively and convey messages that linger long after the screen goes dark. For me, storytelling isn't just about creating; it's about connecting and leaving an imprint on the viewer's mind.
Now, from my base in Oslo, Norway, I continue to push my narrative and visual storytelling boundaries, constantly exploring new ways to tell the stories that matter.
