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.

Frankenstein -a horror comedy

The process of creating the staged play was an extension of my research of Artistic Collaborative Tools. I started with a work group of 5 writer/actors and assigned them to take part in the adaptation of the Novel. After we had created a shared understanding of what sections of the book we wanted to emphasise on I took the next step in creating assignments for the participants to work out and improvise around.

The Sacrifice

The cermony was my final thesis at the Art University theatre academy’s Directing department. I wanted to research the border between the real and the magical as well as the dramatic character and stripped down present self.

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.
