Circles, (test piece in low resolution)
Mockumentary, 2013
This is a short film is a mockumentary about a woman who makes crop circles. The film was based on my thoughts and questions about experiences of solitude and belonging. I was inspired by documentaries and articles about crop circles and aliens.

Poodle in Space (test piece), 2014
Experimenting with green screen
One Saturday evening I snuck my dog into the studio at our University to film him against the green screen that we keep there. Bamse, my dog, was all over the place except from infront of the camera, and sometimes I doubted whether he fully understood the character he was playing. Luckily, I also had a patient friend who helped out during this astir shoot.
Adult 2014
A film about a young woman who finds herself in between being a teenager and a grown-up. She feels trapped in her life and wants to be an adult, however, she isn't initially sure of what that means. She lives in the old cultural student town of Uppsala (where the film is shot). The film is a film noir to sarcastically express the woman's own dramatic impression of her own life.

Skräckslaget på Sysslomansgatan
(Eng. title: "Terror on Sysslomansgatan")
Horror, 2014
This is a short film I edited together after Halloween 2014. My motivation was to try out different methods to make the film look spooky in a comical way. I had very little footage from the party, which was a nice challenge to adjust to as well.

Havet, a stop-motion film of the sea, 2014

How to cook a Bloody Mary, 2014
My friend Gustaf and I were recording a thriller ("Blender") about a homocidal blender. During one of our breaks, Gustaf uses some of the props to mix us a couple of drinks. The footage was amusing so I decided to edit into a "studenty" version of "Come Dine With Me".
