I am DIY director, screenwriter, editor and producer fifteen years in the making with ca +25 films under my belt. My films have been shown at the Cannes filmfestival, San Francisco Frozen Film Festival and Hong Kong Art House Festival to mention a few. I have a BFA in directing and screenwriting from Academy of Art University, San Francisco, CA and a Master’s in Screenwriting from Alma manusutbildning. I run my production company FITZO FILMS as a place for eternal dreamers and lunatics with a grounded belief in the collective effort and vision.

I was born on the plains of Västra Götaland, Tibro - home of furniture, raggare, pentecostals and hillbillies. I have worked in prison, in schools, youth centers and held film courses for refugees. I have also freelanced as a writer, translator and developer at Palladium Fiction, Stockholm, as well as a videographer for various companies throughout Sweden and America.
