Stories that move people.
Strategies that move business.

For 15 years I've documented the forces that shape human behaviour — persuasion, ambition, identity, the digital world. Today I use that same insight to help brands build campaigns, funnels, and visuals that convert.

"This is one of THE best films I've ever seen. Possibly took over my number one spot after 30 years of watching films. Outstanding. Powerful. Revealing and sad."

About

Audun Amundsen
Documentary Filmmaker · Marketing Strategist · GonzoDocs

I started as a renewable energy engineer. Then I got lost in the jungles of Indonesia, met a shaman named Aman Paksa, and spent the next 15 years making a film about what happens when the modern world reaches one of the last traditional cultures on earth. Along the way I learned Indonesian and Mentawaian, survived a health crisis that forced me to relearn how to walk and talk, and came back to finish the film anyway.

That film became Newtopia. The experience of returning to Norway — and discovering how completely social media and digital culture had transformed everything while I was gone — became the thread that connects everything I've made since.

I make documentaries about the forces shaping modern life: persuasion, ambition, identity, viral culture, and the digital world. And I use that same understanding of human behaviour to help businesses build strategies, funnels, and content that actually connects with people.
