David Austrem
- Camera and Electrical Department
- Director
- Actor
Born in 1986 of a Norwegian father and English mother, he was not born
like most Norwegians with skis on their feet, but with a camera in his
hands. Consumed by a passion to make films, he opted out of the
Norwegian schooling system aged 16 to study film making in England,
first at Oxford, then at Salisbury, finally arriving at the
International Film School of Sydney in Australia. Progressing from
slapstick and action movies with his friends as a child, he has since
embraced themes such as anorexia, death, sex, fear, paranoia and the
drama of being human. David Austrem is imaginative, creative,
sensitive, open, refreshing and never afraid to push the boundaries of
film making in the search of cinematic beauty. His films shock, thrill,
repulse and entertain audiences of any age creed or belief. Unafraid to
take on controversial subjects, he combines sensitivity to subject
matter with an interesting take, flair and satirical humour to engage
his audience in films that push the boundaries.
