»This untamed character of Ronja, a figur in a swedish Novel, marked many kids of the 80s. I was one of them. In making films I found the tools that allowed me to act out those Ronja-qualities the most. The cinematic focus let me discover again and again the wonder, the depth and the complexity of human life. I can see life as the raw material, and with a film I can sharpen and make something visible that would not been seen otherwise. I like to focus on charged places, on inititiatives and stories that move our soul and mind and change our behaviour, on people that are a potential cause of friction, and on stories that make hidden connections visible.«
