He has also worked as a TV host for Sveriges Television and is one of the founders of production company Atmo.

At the 53rd Guldbagge Awards, his film The Nile Hilton Incident won five awards, including Best Film. His film Boy from Heaven was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
