About
Jón Ármann Steinsson is an Icelandic writer and creative developer working across film, television, books, and concept-driven projects. His work moves between fiction and cultural commentary, often blending grounded realism with restrained humor and a strong sense of place.
Screenwriter & Producer
As a screenwriter and producer, he has developed and written projects for both domestic and international audiences, with a focus on character-driven stories set against distinctive Nordic landscapes. His storytelling tends toward clarity, dry wit, and emotional understatement rather than spectacle. He is known for Karlsefni (2011), Shadowtown (2020) and Wrath of Gods (2006).
Designer & Creative Strategist
In addition to creative writing, Steinsson works as a designer and creative strategist, developing narrative-driven brands, educational concepts, and intellectual property frameworks. He is particularly interested in how story, visual identity, and structure interact — whether in a screenplay, a children's literacy project, or a long-form fictional universe.
His film and television credits can be found on IMDb.
Steinsson continues to develop original screenplays, fiction, and cross-media concepts from Iceland and abroad.
