2016 - 2019: Work in multiple areas, mainly web development. Started two companies, one by myself and another a joint venture. Completed my three years in the Gulbagge-jury. The Controller-screenplay is getting in shape after some substantial rewrites. An outline for my northern-set screenplay is finding a form. Tinkering with some other ideas as well. Wrote an article on Netflix published HERE on the Medium platform.

2015 - Jan to December: Storyboarded a number of commercials for Preem, Helly Hansen, OLW and others. The Guldbagge movie-watching process continued throughout the year. Also busy with a pretty big web app coding-project. Continued writing, and thinking about doing a comic book version of one of my short-film screenplays. Tinkering several writing ideas, a new SF short story, a horror screenplay set in the northern part of Sweden in wintertime, as well as a family-oriented SF-saga I'm planning to test-read for my daughters, my harshest critics.

2014 - May to November: Storyboarded a series of commercials for Norwegian SpareBank1, featuring a gallery of hamster-characters, almost 100 images. Here is Dear Mom and Bokollektivet. More can be found on YouTube. Busy catching up on all the movies I need to see before the Guldbagge voting process in December.

2014 - January to April: Elected into the jury for the Guldbagge-gala(Swedish Oscars). Free pass to cinema. Occasional storyboarding, among other for the short film Cupcake, directed by Jane Magnusson.

A Hollywood production, starring Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Swedish directors. The movie was recently shown at the Stockholm Film Festival. In line with the saying that "nobody wants to be first composer on a movie", none of our score ended up being used.

Inbetween these gigs i have tried to keep up some illustrating chops by drawing some silly and juvenile comic strips, inspired by my Twitter feed, featuring a moody character, Mr Morose, here are some samples: Mr Morose 1, Mr Morose 2, Mr Morose 3. I plan to put them all on a separate page in the future, if I gather enough material.

Re-distribution is allowed for non-commercial purposes only, and please do not alter the songs even if they should become better.

Some special skills I have developed over the years. I have edited several music videos and commercials in Final Cut, worked quite a bit with After Effects, allthough Im far from a pro, but I have composited digital backgrounds in handheld footage, done quite a lot of graphics and stuff. I have also done sound design and sound editing on several Decoy Film productions. I also draw and have done a lot of storyboards which got good reactions from friends and co-workers, which has led me to launch a sister web-page dedicated to this art:
