My films have been shown at festivals like the Cannes film festival, San Francisco Frozen Film Festival and Hong Kong Art House Festival. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in directing and screenwriting from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Recipient of Västra Götalands cultural stipend 2016.
