Greg Björkman is a writer/director originally from the Chicago suburbs. Prior to starting his film journey, he went to school for Physical Therapy. However, after taking a required writing course and receiving positive feedback, he moved towards media as a major. In 2008, his shift to media put him on the front line of the Iowa caucuses as he worked for an NPR affiliate radio station on the border of Iowa. Studying the positive and negative effects of the media’s power, Björkman decided to pursue film at the end of his sophomore year. He transferred schools to The Peck School of the Arts in Milwaukee and worked at the local CBS television station as a camera operator during his time there. After two years of developing editing and visual effects skillsets, he moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to begin his career in the film industry. Starting in music videos and television as a Production Assistant, Björkman crossed the threshold into post-production on features. While working in editorial as an assistant editor and VFX compositor on films such as Stuck in Love (2012) and The Fault in Our Stars (2014), he began to write on the side, honing his storytelling skills. Integrating his emotional storytelling and visual effects knowledge from his editorial background, Björkman co-wrote and makes his directorial debut with PRESS PLAY.

Björkman’s influences in film include Steven Spielberg, Steven Soderbergh, Frank Capra, Sergio Leone, and Joe & Anthony Russo.
