Meet Óttar Þorbergsson and Fannar Birgisson, the heart and soul behind Hjúman Kind. Óttar, straight from Reykjavík's vibrant creative scene, is a cinematographer and director with an eye for the emotionally charged and visually stunning. After lighting up the Icelandic film scene post-graduation in 2018, he's earned his stripes with accolades for his storytelling prowess and a knack for capturing the essence of human emotion through his lens. His work, notably on 'Bylur', tackles heavy themes like toxic masculinity with a deft touch.
Fannar, Akureyri's own, wields his pen and director's eye with a unique flair, graduating a year after Óttar and diving headfirst into the world of film. His storytelling? Bold, expressive, and always aiming to push boundaries. 'Bylur' stands as a testament to his commitment to diving deep into society's pressing issues with an artful, thought-provoking approach.
Together, they're a powerhouse duo, dreaming up cinematic magic and eager to explore new horizons in film, always with the human touch that defines Hjúman Kind.
