Request QuoteJoakim S. Hammond is a writer/director with 16 years of experience. Growing up in a working-class neighborhood without a father and few to no prospects in life he still knew from an early age that he wanted to be a filmmaker. Joakim started his production company within a month of graduating high school and after personally financing and producing two low-budget feature films he realized that maybe the big break wasn’t going to come overnight. So, he decided to move from his hometown Gothenburg and study tv production at a vocational school in Stockholm. Last year he expanded his studies by attending one semester at the University of North Carolina. He has since developed multiple docu-series and freelanced as an editor and cinematographer on top of making multiple short films in different genres. By working his way up through almost all creative fields within the film medium, he’s working on becoming a master storyteller. In 2016 Joakim got the chance to direct and co-write the sketch comedy series Thor-TV for Swedish television and his short film “A Friend of Dorothy” recently finished its 4-year festival run while taking home 3 awards. At the moment he’s studying a bachelor’s in applied social research at Stockholm University while also promoting his latest shorts “Dani”, a drama, and "The Rhythm of My Heart Tears me Apart", an experimental fusion between documentary and fiction.
I co-directed and co-wrote the script to this music video for Pain of Salvation. We were given quite a free reign while pitching ideas and when the band read our suggestion, they were sort of shocked, but they liked it.
I have made a name for myself in making story driven music videos, and this is by far my favorite. The artist and producer gave me totally free reign with the story and they were very pleased with the result.
After editing the behind the scenes for Easy Mone II, I was asked to take a bigger responsibility this time so we could make it even better than before.
I got the honor to direct the latest music video for the Swedish artists Dani M and Linda Pira. They asked for a sexy and cool video to communicate their respective profiles. Beyond directing I also shot, edited an produced the video.
I was asked to make Kungälv Hockey team's new promo. I wanted to make something with a documentary style to it, but at the same time had a cinematic and emotional feel. After some spitballing with the management we came up with this. I can honestly say that everyone was very happy with the result and it led to me making their next promo as well.
This series was made with the Swedish youtube sensation RMM. After their enormous success pranking thousands of Justin Beiber fans outside a hotel in Stockholm, they were picked up to make this hidden camera show for Swedish Channel 5's web platform.
