Management & Board
Magnus Jansson (Chief Executive Officer)
Magnus Jansson is an award-winning writer-director at Assorted Nuts Animation Studios, heading up the studio's creative development. Lacking any formal training in the creative arts, Magnus honed his skills in more rewarding and fun ways. Guitarist and songwriter in punkrock act Stoned meant 10 years of short-form storytelling through music, shooting and editing music videos, and not to mention a lot of fun on the band's multiple world-tours.
A brief stint in game development required him to learned coding and game design, and when 3D software became more readily available, he started writing, directing and producing animated shorts.
In 2002, Magnus co-founded Assorted Nuts and has headed up the studio's creative development since.
