Fog studied at the University of Copenhagen and the Prague Film School before graduating in 1999 from the National Film School of Denmark. His graduation project, the short film Lille Mænsk (English: Little Man) was shortlisted for Best Foreign Film at the Student Academy Awards. In 2010, Fog accepted a four-year contract as consultant and project director at the Danish Film Institute which prevented him from pursuing personal film projects. Fog wrote and directed the 2017 film Du forsvinder (English: You Disappear) based upon Christian Jungersen's bestselling novel of the same name. The film was submitted as Denmark's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
