Joakim Edvardsen Gran is a nearly award-winning director and writer, narrowly missing out on the coveted Glemmy and coming *this close* to an Amandus Festival nomination in Lillehammer.

Rumors once swirled about him battling Parkinson’s, but these were swiftly overshadowed by the shocking discovery of his lifeless body in his living room—at the tender age of seven.
