About me

I've dedicated my entire professional life to writing. With a background in marketing, I was quickly embraced by the advertising industry, where I spent 30 years as a copywriter and founded two successful agencies. My journey then led me to screenwriting, fueled by my passion for developing original ideas for the screen. Most of my scripts have been sold, with several making it to production. I've also published a book featuring my best comedy writing. My strength lies in combining creative writing with commercial insight – creating original stories with potential to reach a wider audience.

But don't just take my word for it – here's what some of my collaborators have to say:

"Anders is the industry's least anxious soul. His dark humour punctures our comfort zones and takes us on bizarre adventures through our own lives. Just as the wound has healed, Anders is there to pick off the scab once more. And you find yourself laughing all the way through. Sharp-eyed, spot-on and professional down to the finest detail. A person who always delivers and an obvious choice for that desert island."

Johannes Stjärne Nilsson

"Anders should really be Danish, his humor is dark and his insight into life is profound. He dares to write scripts like only Danes dare to do. But we're happy that he's Swedish, because you need him, we just want to borrow him now and then. But you better appreciate him or we'll come and bring him home to Denmark"

Niclas Bendixen

"The most interesting thing about Anders, isn't what he writes or even how, It's the fact that he writes. This isn't the beginning, not the end, but the start of an ending you didn't think was possible. That's the way Anders is, so good you don't know how it's going to end. Like mogul skiing with miniskis, hilariously impossible."

Michael Nyqvist

“Anders has a remarkable ability to write and create distinctive stories with a wonderfully dark sense of humor. His writing has perfect pitch, and his style is instantly recognizable. He's quick-witted and shows genuine humility about the things he loves. Moreover, he's an absolute joy to work with.”

Carl Svensson

”I’ve been waiting for him to spend more time writing scripts. I don’t know where all his dark and funny ideas come from, but look forward to them and dream about directing them one day.”

Jonas Åkerlund

”Anders is not only a a highly skilled professional, but also someone who can come up with new and unexpected angles on problems, which is why you tend to become addicted to him. He writes like a God and is one of the few people who can make me laugh whatever my mood is. He has a way of seeing life through his very own grid, sometimes with a very large perspective and sometimes in one so small that tiny details, that otherwise would have been lost, are exposed. You’re very lucky if you get to know him or work with him."

Kattis Ahlström

”Not everybody has it, but he does. He’s immediately appealing. You can tell at once that he’s intelligent, funny and sharp-tongued. And he possesses the underrated quality of being nice. Tough on the outside but deep down - nice. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

Eva Swartz

”Anders is fun, clever, extreme and professional. Just to work with him is highly entertaining.”
