SAM

The story is based on a true encounter with my first loves father. I had lived with SAM for a couple of years but never knew his father. I asked if we could go and visit him once. Of couse I have developed the story dramatised it but the trigger that mad me want to tell it was the fact that Sam´s father had named his dog after his son that he hadn’t seen for nine years. Shortly after we broke up and I moved to another country.
In 2010 Sams brother called me and told me that Sam’s passed away. It still feels unreal. I dedicate this film to Sam and his three children.

Drakar – Short film

Drakar is not a story about remembering trauma—it’s about surviving it through transformation. Irina’s dragons are not metaphors; they are survival tactics, visual weapons, emotional mutations. As a filmmaker, I am drawn to characters who rebuild their worlds from the debris of silence. This is a story about a woman who refuses to be defined by what was done to her—but instead by what she creates.

Georg & Lydia

In this film I treated the subject of creativity, about how a composer gets out of her own chains of having to high expectations on her music that has left her concert unfinished.

Dagmar / Maria

This project was a monolog interpreted by Misa Lommi. In her mid twenties she was supposed to portray a woman of 80 years. We realized that within our bodies, whatever the age, there is another mental body that follows no rules but rather leads an emotional age that constantly changes depending on the change in mood.
