Overview
Roenberg was a partnership between Norwegian film directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. They are best known for directing Kon-Tiki (2012), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Early life and career
In the 1980s, Espen Sandberg and his childhood friend Joachim Rønning spent their free time making short films with Rønning's father's 30-pound home video camera.
In 1992 the duo attended Stockholm Film School in Sweden, and graduated in 1994. In 1995 they founded their own company. They called it "Roenberg", a portmanteau of their last names. Sandberg and Rønning established themselves in the American market with their spots for Capital One, Labatt's and especially with their USA Today Super Bowl 2001 Viewer's Poll-winning spot Rex for Budweiser. Together with fellow Norwegian director, Harald Zwart, they own and run Motion Blur, a production house for commercials. Founded in 2002 it is now one of the largest and most award-winning productions companies in Scandinavia.
