History
Ernst Jacob Theodor Kressner (born in february 12, 2000) is an independent film director, writer, producer and sound designer in Stockholm, Sweden. He studied film for two years at Sundbybergs Folkhögskola where he made two short films in the body horror sub-genre. Jacob's films use unconventional allegories to tell deeply personal stories and experiences set in everyday environments. The heightened imagery portrays manic variations of sadness, horror, beauty and joy.
Jacob grew up watching horror films and studied DIY tutorials on special effects. Early on he grew enchanted by the magic, the engaging drama and the forbidden nature of horror media. He developed a lively imagination that slightly unnerved school teachers and at the age of 17 he realised what he had to do: give himself wholly and completely to this world of film and never look back. He started studying filmmaking in 2019 and since then all of his efforts have gone into finding his voice as a filmmaker.

Visual Effects
Five young friends are hanging out in the woods and discussing their different views on love. There’s Mary who is happily in love with Toby, Toby who is sort of indifferent about Mary, Joby who has a secret crush on Toby, Caty who is single and satisfied and Freddy, the gang’s own enthusiastic nerd. Freddy tells his friends about an ancient greek myth which suggests that humanity used to consist of people who were literally stuck together with their true loves. He then suggests that they should all pray to the old god Zeus so that Mary and Toby are reunited in their true form. Caty finds this suggestion repulsive but to her horror the others consider it to be a charming idea. The ritual works… but maybe not in the way they intended.
