AWARDS & NOMINATIONS
Marcus A. Olsson, born in Bjärred, south of Sweden, was one of the members of the celebrated comedy group Varanteatern, who later became Varan-TV. His graduation film from the education in film directing at Dramatiska Institutet, “Major and Minor Miracles” was nominated to an Academy Award in the category best short live action.
He has been the Conceptual Director of several successful tv-series, such as “Gustav IIIs Äktenskap” (The Marriage of Gustav III), “Mäklarna”, “Orka! Orka!”, “Morden i Sandhamn”, “Fjällbackamorden” et al.
With an origin in the comedic tradition, he achieves to combine humor with a human touch in all his productions, a quality that has generated several prestigious awards over the years.
“Tiny Lumberjack is a brand of comedy, distinguised by a filanthropic take on the world and the characters. Their creative approach also fearlessly disrupts the business models normally associated with quality film production.”
“I thought it was one of the best films that we screened that year!”
“Continue to shoot wonder like that. I loved it!”
