Christian Nilsson (filmmaker)

He is best known for the psychological thriller Dashcam (2021)[1] and his short Unsubscribe (2020), a 29-minute horror film that topped the U.S. box office in June 2020 after Nilsson and YouTuber Eric Tabach exploited a loophole during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[10] Other sources were more ambivalent, such as Decider, which stated that "[w]hether this stunt is a stroke of brilliance or a stroke of shameless self-promotion is up to you",[11] while Trillmag said that "Unsubscribe's status as a historical filmmaking achievement is indicated by the unorthodox (and deviously scheming) method through which it achieved box office success"[12] In December 2020, Deadline Hollywood announced Nilsson and Tabach partnered with production companies Kamikaze Dogfight and Hood River Entertainment to finance Nilsson's feature-length directorial debut, Dashcam.

[16] Critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas wrote: "Dashcam is an extraordinary low-budget political thriller that does a lot with a little, and is a masterclass that sometimes, having the guts to punch above its weight can pay off just through sheer audacity alone."

"[17] In November 2023, Nilsson wrapped production on his second feature film, Westhampton, which stars Finn Wittrock (American Horror Story), RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad), Jake Weary (How to Blow Up a Pipeline), Amy Forsyth (CODA), Sam Strike (The Boys in the Boat), Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years), Tovah Feldshuh and Ritchie Coster.

According to Deadline Hollywood, the film follows an opportunistic outcast, desperate for fast cash to help his ailing mother, who partners with a wily paparazzo that entangles them in a homicide involving young celebutantes.
