Short film “Dig äger ingen”

How fun that I participated in making this year’s short film for Film i Österbotten!
Last summer, I had the opportunity to work as the gaffer on set, which meant I was responsible for the lighting and helping shape the visual mood of the story. It was an intense but incredibly rewarding experience, filled with creative problem-solving and lot’s of teamwork.

Working on a short film is always special, but this project stood out because of the people involved. The crew was passionate, supportive, and full of ideas, which made even the most challenging moments feel inspiring. From early morning setups to late-night shoots, there was a strong sense of collaboration and shared vision throughout the process.

Looking back, I’m really proud of what we created together!
These photos & video’s captured small moments from the set.
