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.

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.

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.

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.
