A lot of times, films tell stories about the time we live in. So when making history, it´s just as important to give the female perspective as well as the male. We need female voices. Take a risk. Be personal.

There is a huge amount of shame connected to the feeling of not being loved, because love and family, biological or not, confirms our existence. Everyone needs to be seen, accepted and loved.

I don't know if it's a misconception, but I often get asked why I always make stories about family and love. Over the years, I´ve also directed commercials, a children's film, and TV - dramas (both comedic and darker), because I always feel the urge to go in a different direction with my next project.

Studies say great harm can be done to a person if the connection between mother and child isn´t there from the start. Love is a basic need/instinct, and people can get quite desperate and become destructive if they don´t have it.
