Growing up in Gothenburg under the watchful eyes of a policeman and a teacher, Filip Nilsson developed an appreciation for order and storytelling. After stints as a bungee‑jump instructor and years spent in the French Alps, he channels his eclectic life experiences into playful films.

A father and husband to a production designer, he co‑founded the Folke Film collective with childhood friends. Known as “The Pony,” Nilsson brings humour, energy and a keen eye for character to every project.
