HÅKAN LINDHÉ started his own theatre company, Cirkus Babylon, at age 23. After two successful productions, he started working at the Helsingborg City Theatre, where he directed “The hairy ape” by Eugene O’Neill, “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller and “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams. He then moved to Stockholm, from where he continued his work with spectacular projects like Antony Burgess “A Clockwork Orange”, his stage version of F.W. Murnau’s classic film “Nosferatu”, The Philip Glass opera “The fall of the house of Usher” and “Howie the rookie” by Mark O'Rowe.
At age 30 he moved on to film and TV. He sold his first spec-script “Love Fools” to Memfis Film and won Guldbaggen (Swedish Academy Award) for his first short, “Clinch”. After that he has written and directed several award-winning productions for film and TV; “Norrmalmstorg / The Stockholm Syndrome”, “Lokalreportern / Lowland”, “En fråga om Liv och Död / A matter of life and death”, “Sthlm”, “30 grader i Februari / 30 degrees in February” and “Modus 2”.
Håkans latest work include being the showrunner for “The inner circle”, an 8 x 45 min series for Viaplay as well as developing several projects for his own production company Kulla Film.
Håkan is married to writer/actress Johanna Wilson, and they live on a house-boat in central Stockholm with their kids Noah and Nelly.
