Following training at the Danish Film School his feature debut was Stine og drengene (1969), followed seven more features including a number of the socalled 'potato westerns'. He also wrote screenplays and worked in lower positions on other productions. He is reported to have had an alcohol problem in his later days, before he died at 66 in 2003.
