ABOUT
I’m a screenwriter and director with slightly strange ideas and a deep love for lonely characters. It all started with homemade films starring me and my stuffed animals in various wigs- and ever since then I’ve held on tightly to the playfulness that once made me fall in love with storytelling.
In 2023, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in screenwriting from Stockholm University of the Arts (formerly DI). Since then I have worked as a freelance writer, director and editor developing concepts for film, theatre and music videos. In my stories I like to use absurdity and poetry to explore themes like childhood, longing, exclusion, destructiveness and other ugly feelings.
I do: writing, directing, casting, editing (Premiere Pro and Davinci), dramaturgical- and pedagogical work.
