Astrid

The 2017 commercial titled Astrid, created as a final project at Kalix folk high school in collaboration with the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund and Judi Mountain Films, is a touching tribute to love, connection, and the enduring memories that support us through adversity.

As my first significant film assignment as a student, it provided a unique opportunity to contribute to a deeply meaningful cause. The lessons I gained, particularly through this collaboration, shaped my creative journey. Working with a passionate team and talented actors, we crafted a narrative that highlights the challenges faced by families dealing with childhood cancer. This invaluable experience serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact creative work can have on people’s lives.
