#5 Marius Hansen: Business mindset & creative work

Filmmaker Marius Hansen works with clients around the world including Red Bull Norway and JCP.

Using a simple setup like a Sony A7S III and a 24–70 lens, he developed a style that stands out without relying on a lot of gear. We talk about building trust with clients, why networking takes time, and why being a good person to work with matters just as much as creative skill.

Marius also shares his mindset of treating creative work like a video game — where every project becomes a mission and every payment is experience points toward the next level.

We also dive into one of his early breakthroughs: creating the documentary series “Døds or Die”. Marius wrote the script, developed the characters, filmed and edited the entire series himself before it aired on TV2 through a media agreement with the Døds Diving Federation.

From convincing a ski club to pay him 2000 kroner for his first video at 17, to building a career working with international clients, this conversation explores what it really takes to turn creativity into a long-term profession.
