Gustaf Åkerblom is a versatile director who moves seamlessly between genres – from epic adventures and family films to personal comedies and gripping drama, across both cinema and TV-series. He develops original ideas but is also frequently hired to direct established productions. With a deep appreciation for classic films, his storytelling often carries a nostalgic tone, yet Gustaf is also an innovator who enjoys challenging both form and content.
A clear example is his upcoming TV series, where he is the first in Sweden to have over 50% of the content AI-generated – a bold move that reflects his curiosity for new ways of creating. Regardless of format, his work is characterized by strong relatability, human warmth, and a comedic twist. Character direction and performance are especially close to his heart, evident in his close collaboration with actors and his attentive approach to storytelling.
