Larsen’s film career continued to unfold as he learned the trade from behind the camera, producing national TV commercials and films while traveling to all corners of the globe. He began shooting fashion videos for clothing companies in Japan that led to directing national MTV commercials for GENERRA in 1993. Larsen’s firsthand knowledge of locations around the world and his ability to work in almost any type of situation have made him highly sought after when unique and challenging filming environments are called for. From snow-covered mountains in South America and Australia to the Arctic Circle or the Winter Olympic Games...While shooting a commercial for Michigan-based WOLVERINE WORLDWIDE, Larsen climbed to the top of a suspension bridge alongside the bridge workers and designed images that thrill viewers with the impending dangers facing the work boot-clad men moving high above the cold waters.
Larsen has also produced documentaries such as the multi-media, performance artist extravaganza for BUMBERSHOOT (the largest arts festival in the United States included hundreds of performers and culminated in the burning event of a colossal, forty-foot high flaming "bovineasaurus"). 33 FAINTING SPELLS, a nationally recognized dance company in Seattle recently hired Larsen to film an intriguing dance/art video in an abandoned convalescent home. For THE FLYING KARAMAZOV BROTHERS and in conjunction with MIT, Larsen helped conceive of, produce, and integrate live action and pre-recorded film and video elements for their zany national performance tour entitled L’UNIVERSE. He also has served as a creative consultant for the opening ceremonies of the GOODWILL GAMES in Seattle. Larsen has just recently finished producing a feature film entitled THE OUTPATIENT.
