Ten Meter Tower
Art Department Production Assistant
10 Meter Tower is a short film taking place in a swimming pool with 6 cameras aimed at the tallest diving tower. All focus is on the 43 people between 9 and 78 years old. They have one thing in common, this is the first time in their lives they climb up to the platform to make the decision whether to jump or not.

Greetings from the Woods
Executive Producer
Inside and outside the well-kept hedges life carries on as usual. The King buys his daily newspaper. Bertil searches the parking lot for dogs to photograph. Hans and Gun-Britt is planting a big, but still too small rock in their garden. Trying to get their minds off it all. As darkness falls over the little village in the woods, the Indians gather for a meeting in the town house as angst, frustration and silent prayer echoes in the night. With visual precision and attention to detail, director Mikel Cee Karlsson captures people and their existence in a small village deep inside the Swedish forest. Over a period of four years, the music video director and former professional skateboarder Mikel has been capturing singular scenes from a part of today’s Sweden where reality inexorably seeps in behind the colourful fasad. With a mixture of playful precision, humour and melancholy he portrays people’s dreams, their relationships and everyday destinies.

Presentado en la sección "Una cierta mirada" en Cannes 2008, el segundo largometraje de Ruben Östlund construye un retrato de la sociedad sueca en cinco episodios unidos por el mismo tema: el poder del grupo sobre el individuo. Mediante una estética que privilegia el uso de largos planos-secuencia y de encuadres poco convencionales, el filme contrasta las perspectivas de un par de jóvenes seducidas por el alcohol, una maestra que alecciona a sus alumnos y las de un grupo de hombres envueltos en una situación homosexual. Seleccionada por Suecia como candidada al Oscar 2010 en la categoría de película de habla no inglesa. (FILMAFFINITY)
