Side projects 

Alla Känner Alla

In the city of Malmö, I, together with fellow filmmaker Peter Johansson, set out to document some of the people we all seem to know about, but never got to know. The project, Alla Känner Alla, ended up as a small video portrait catalog of some of the city’s unsung heroes.
