Jonas Alexander Arnby
Jonas' first feature WHEN ANIMALS DREAM debuted at Cannes Critics’ Week 2014 and went on to screen at the London Film Festival. It's a smart, stylish coming-of-age film about a teenage girl living in a small fishing town who discovers she’s a werewolf. The film was released in the UK by Altitude and the US by RADiUS-TWC.
Jonas went on to direct EXIT PLAN / SUICIDE TOURIST, an existential mystery thriller featuring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, which opened at the Sitges and Zurich Film Festivals 2019.
Jonas has just finished directing THE HELICOPTER HEIST for Netflix. Before this he directed all 8 episodes of VERONIKA for Viaplay as well as WAR OF THE WORLDS 3 for Urban Myth Films and DARKNESS: THOSE WHO KILL for BBC4. He is also developing his third film with Profile Pictures.
THE HELICOPTER HEIST
"a compelling retelling of the September 2009 robbery"
"the action sequences are jagged, claustrophobic and wild"
