Martin Sandin is a writer/director. He holds a degree from the prestigious Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts, and has worked with some of Sweden’s most well-known production houses.

Martin Sandin’s work in film typically leans towards drama and realism. When writing he’s drawn to subjects such as identify and confirmation and the great impact they have on modern society, asking the questions like; Why do we do the silly little things we do?  

Together with fellow artists in Art & Poetic Justice, he’s created a style called poetic justice. A way of visualizing the theme of the film and getting close to the true needs of the characters and their crumbling facades.
