Biography
Anders Thomas Jensen is a Danish screenwriter and film director born April 6, 1972. His breakthrough came with *Election Night*, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film in 1998—a rare feat for a filmmaker in his mid-twenties. Jensen works across both short and feature formats, blending sharp dialogue with character-driven plots. As a screenwriter, his role is to shape story and dialogue; as a director, he controls visual language and performance. Danish film culture has produced several international exports, and Jensen belongs to a lineage of Nordic storytellers who build narrative economy into their work. His birth date places him under Aries—a sign associated with initiative and directness. Life Path 11 (the "Master Number") suggests a calling toward vision and transformation; Jensen's Oscar at a young age reflects that pattern of early recognition and high stakes.
