Age...

What is age? A number, the way you feel, a way for people to let them know if you are in their league or not?
I am 31. I feel like 70 in my body, looks like somewhere between 30-40 and in my mind I am pending between 12-14 and 31. And turning 30 wasn't a big deal for me if I just stop and think about it for a while... The only crises I had that day was that everyone was on to you and reminding you and teasing you for getting 30.... That broke me down. Not the fact that I was turning 30. For me it is just a number.

It is the way you feel inside and the way you are living that decide your mental age, and I consider the mental age to be much more closer to whom you are. And that is hard when you are pending between a lot of ages.

Physically I am feeling really old, but that is most due to the fact that I haven't taken care of my body. I am not a guy that workout, even though I am not smoking or drinking like hell. But you need your workout. So I am having constantly pain in my body since I am to weak.
And my eyes.... Oh, just a few years ago I just used my glasses when needed... Now I have to have them on me every day... All the time!!!! And if I am not wearing them, I have to raise the brightness on my MacBook just to be able to see what I am reading and writing.

But in my mind, I am sometimes just 12-14 again. Having fun. Enjoying life. Even though you won't see me climbing in a tree any more... (I am afraid of heights, that's my excuse) But working with kids you have to have an open mind. You have to remember what it was to be in that age, so you can let them be kids as well. Not demanding to much of them. Not asking them to be adults until it is time.

So what is age.... Age is like a fine wine, it's just getting better and better for every year storing it, or it could be like milk... Sour as hell. It is all up to us!

A dream...!

I have a dream. Actually it is more like to dreams but combined in one: I want to move to Alaska and/or Maine.

Why? That I just don't know. I have always had a thing for Maine. Just read about it and seen it on film, and it just seems so beautiful. I guess all the states close to the Canadian border is what I am looking for.
And then Alaska... People just raise there eyebrows at me when I say I wanna move to Alaska. "It is so cold." "It is so isolated." And so an.
I don't mind the cold. I don't mind the isolation. I don't mind to live in a small society with very few people around me.
And the environment is just awsome! But then again, I have never been there.

Someday I will go there. Both to Maine and to Alaska. It is a dream. It is something I just have to do.
And to be able to make films and take wonderful photos.

Someday.... I have a dream....

Long time for someting special!

August 11th I was with my filmcrew on location at Vikingabyn in Tofta to shoot a pilot sequence for my feature film "Karins Saga", a medieval drama about a mayors daugther who has to choose between her carieer or her heart.

We started our shooting at 6 p.m. and had around 20-30 extras, 6 actors and a small crew of 10 people, running around in the middle of the night and just had fun together.
Then we hoped it would be done by October with all the editing and so. And then we changed us until November. And now, finally, December 5th, we are done!!!!

We can finally present the pilot for everyone.

Incredible how long it would take us to finish this, and now I can only hope that people will enjoy what they are seeing, and will support us in the future.

I will write more about the project later but can already follow us a Karins Saga official page

Hope you will like what you are seeing!
