(Offerrollsretorik)
My Role: Colorist
Post-production: Shoot&Post
Production: Plattform Produktion
VICTIM-MENTALITY RHETORIC (Offerrollsretorik) is a tragicomic portrayal of the female, manipulative, victim-mentality rhetoric. The film features different generations of women who have slipped into the role of victim – something they consider being assigned, but which they also subconsciously use.

THE YEARNING ROOM
My Role: Colorist, Online Editor
Post-production: Shoot&Post
Production: Cinenic Film
Photographer: Sophia Olsson
THE YEARNING ROOM is a romantic sex mystery that explores the boundaries between the body and the surrounding world. Anne spends the summer at her friend Julia’s summer house. This is the summer that Anne meets Olle. This is the summer that Julia betrays her. This is the summer that Anne commits the crime. Or was it an accident? A dream? As Julia’s disloyalty grows on Anne, her need of restoration is awakened. Somewhere between fantasy and reality, Anne regains her sense of self in the present.
I believe that certain narratives leave an imprint on our most private sphere. Romance tells us that our central measure of self-being is to be desirable for someone else. Traditionally the woman prepares and then she waits. This waiting is a state of readiness, an anticipation of fulfillment. By using a cinematic language that resembles that which is really being scrutinized, I hope that The Yearning Room will create a tension between distance and empathy.

THE ROUTE 43 MIRACLE
(Mirakel utmed riksväg 43)
My Role: Colorist, Online Editor
Post-production: Shoot&Post
Production: Cinenic Film
Photographer: Ita Zbroniec Zajt
Holger Johansson is a very lonely man. Before it’s too late, there’s something he needs to get off his chest: a secret to reveal. The time has come to unfold the story of what happened that night, fifteen years ago – the night a miracle took place at a dreary concrete motel somewhere along Route 43. ”The Route 43 Miracle” is a humorous yet bittersweet tale of a lonesome Swedish man’s longing for something worthwhile, a point of it all, a glimmer of hope that it wasn’t all for nothing.
