Director Biography - Gunnjón Gestsson
Gunnjón Gestsson was the fifth funniest man in Iceland in 2012. He hasn't done anything since then as immediately afterwards he burrowed deep underground and formed a fetid chrysalis in which he lay dormant before emerging in 2023 with an idea for a short film where a man wrestles a merman (A Tale as Old as Time).
