Gustav Danielsson, FSF: Chasing Dusk in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Gustav Danielsson, FSF got the job by text message. “Do you wanna shoot a sequel to Game of Thrones?” arrived from director Owen Harris, who had made San Junipero with him, and it landed while Danielsson was at home rewatching the original series with his kids and buying them the board games. He cut short a show in Sweden to take it. The result, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is HBO’s return to Westeros at a fraction of the usual scale, and it earned him a 2026 Emmy nomination for cinematography.
