More about on Joachim Back
An Oscar winning director, Joachim began his career as a teenager, working as a runner on feature films in his native Denmark. He soon transitioned into different technical positions, such as camera department, lighting department, and even in post-production as an assistant editor. Determined to get behind the camera himself, Joachim borrowed some equipment and began shooting his own commercials and spec projects.
His comic sensibility got him noticed and in 1997 Joachim signed with Copenhagen’s Easy Film for commercial representation. In 2000 a spot he directed for MTV, ‘The Mouth’, was shortlisted for a Gold Lion at Cannes, and in 2001 he and two fellow directors founded the spot shop Bacon. After several very successful years, the team went its separate ways, and Joachim moved to the US where he signed with Park Pictures in 2004.
Joachim has been working non-stop ever since, bringing his unique sense of humor and highly visual storytelling to many films and campaigns.
He helmed the campaign that marked Viagra’s first foray into comedy, which became one of the most decorated campaigns in the industry. That year, Joachim appeared on the Gunn Report as one of the top ten most winning directors in the world. He’s been given top industry honors including ANDY Awards, ADDY Awards, CLIOs, and three Cannes Lions, among many others.
Recently, Joachim directed the short film, The New Tenants. The film won the 2010 Oscar at the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Live Action Short. It has also been an official selection at various film festivals around the world.
Joachim lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two children.
