Directing
Petter Wallenberg has been directing music videos and short films for nearly a decade. As a performer and music composer, he also owns and creates the content of his films. Having both musical and visual creative backgrounds enriches his output, which is characterised by original, bold imagery that is equally rich conceptually.
After establishing his artistic output directing his own music videos, Wallenberg's directing career expanded naturally into documentaries, which explore the important themes and social issues at the core of his own artistic projects.
Wallenberg is currently working on multiple directing projects whose subject matter and approach continue to make use of his own musical compositions, combined in his signature style with the performing arts and documentary on social issues.
