His films have covered a broad range of topics; including Grønnstrøm about renewable energy, UDI Norway about Kurdish refugees, and Blind Summit on visually impaired hikers who embark on a mission to climb the Himalayas.
After working on Hammoudi, he became inspired to create a multi-media workshop that will teach war-disabled children about filmmaking which he plans will culminate in public awareness campaigns about the effects of cluster bombs and other war-related dangers. His next film project is a feature-length documentary on female genital mutilation in Somalia.
