Director Biography - Gustav Högmo, Amanda Gustafsson

Swedish Film Production major at Santa Barbara City College, Illuminate is Gustavs fourth short film he's written. This time directing it alongside Amanda Gustafsson. He's also composed the music, done the sound editing/mixing and plays the role of James. He also feels it's weird to write about himself in third person but recognizes that this column kind of needs it.
