Thomas Abrahamsen (b. 1995) has always been drawn to people and the ways we reach out to one another. From his ground-floor apartment, he absorbs the noise, the parties, and the sense of community passing by his window — and he lets that energy feed into his films. 

He turns to film because life often moves faster than we can process. He highlights what often remains unnoticed and the conversations we often keep at a distance. It’s his way of preserving what would otherwise vanish in everyday life.

Thomas is particularly interested in relationships between men and in friendships that lack a vocabulary for emotion. Moments where we hide behind status, control, or hardened façades. He examines the situations where we try to prove something to each other — and sometimes stumble in the attempt.

He has a high hairline and big feelings. He’s slowly giving up on hiding either.
