Background
I was born in the south of Sweden in 1980 and moved to Stockholm 2004 where
I am based today.
I started to work with film in 2002 and have worked in almost every position
there is behind the camera.
I went to film school for two years in 2004 in Stockholm.
When I write I usually write comedy or pretty dark drama, with a little bit of
comedy in it.
I believe in the analogue way of working with film. I prefer that special effects
happens in camera. Im inspired by well written dialogue and performances from
actors who delivers very realistically.
I like to study and listen to people around me, capture the reality and give it a
funny twist.
I get really inspired by filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovskij, Roy
Andersson, Susanne Bier, Michael Haneke, Fassbinder, Bondarchuk and many
many more.
I am really good at writing dialogue and direct comedy but I also have a visual
eye and I try to incorporate beautiful shots because that often helps the
storytelling.
I really like to work close with people, getting to know them and I really like to
write dialouge. Humour is a strong side that I have, and I think its universaI. I
know I can make almost anything funny in every language.
2. I prefer stories that focus on the human being, her inner self and her relations. I
love it when you can combine comedy and drama to get a more three
dimensional story and characters.
