BIO

Kristoffer Borgli was born in 1985 in Sarpsborg, Norway, a quiet town on the edge of the forest, where an active logging community formed the backbone of daily life. His high school was marked for years by the unresolved impact of a classmate’s death after she was found on a shoreline, wrapped in plastic, an event that left a lasting imprint on the town. At 16, Borgli worked for several years at the town’s video store, an experience that shaped his interest in cinema and set him on a path toward filmmaking.
