Christian Larson's journey in the world of entertainment began with his passion for drumming, dancing, and filming skateboarding in his native Sweden. This unique background laid the foundation for his distinctive visual style, which would later become a hallmark of his work.
Starting his career by creating music promos, Larson soon found himself editing for renowned director Jonas Åkerlund on various projects, including the iconic music video for Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's "Telephone." His editing credits also include music videos and commercials for renowned artists such as Daft Punk, Britney Spears, Duran Duran, Mercedes, and Dior, as well as the feature film "Small Apartments" starring Matt Lucas and Billy Crystal.
As a director, Larson's impressive portfolio includes music videos for Sigur Rós, Kylie Minogue, Tinie Tempah, and Swedish House Mafia, as well as commercials and editorials for Rimmel London, ID Magazine, Wallpaper Magazine, Absolut Vodka, and Agent Provocateur.
In 2010, Larson made the documentary "Take One," which gained cult status in the electronic dance music world and was dubbed "Spinal Tap for the acid house generation" by The Times UK.
Two years later, he wrote and directed "Valtari," a short film featuring music by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós and choreography by world-renowned choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkoui. The film received numerous nominations and won awards for Best Video at the 2013 Swedish Grammy Awards and Best Choreography at the 2013 UK Music Video Awards.
Larson's directing projects have garnered over 200 million views on YouTube. His first feature-length film, "Leave the World Behind," was officially selected for the 2014 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, and upon its official release on iTunes, it debuted at number one in the worldwide documentary section.
