Director Biography - Bjørn Sørensen

Bjørn Sørensen is a filmmaker based in Denmark. I love going on adventures and sometimes gets ideas for my films, from my love of adventure. The idea for my first film “It's Easy until it's not”, which won best Nordic adventure film in 2019, came when I was injured during a race. I want to show my friends and family what it is about ultrarunning that fascinates and draws us to them. And last year I won Best Danish Adventure film with my film Evil East Coast. My dream is to make a living making adventure films. There are still a few kilometers to go, but dreams live and I am getting closer and closer and my latest project “Beyond Comfort” is made possible by with great help from brands in the sports and adventure world and the people around me. Scott Sports is the main sponsor on the film. The film follows a Danish athlete named Kristina who must run 255 km through the Namibian desert in the hope of breaking the record
