Director Biography - Kalle Waern

Being 23 years old and to have grown up on the countryside of Sweden, on Öland, makes Kalle Waern a forever daydreamer of another place to be. This project is where he tries to define his longing for himself, with help from people in his own age.

After having his debut acting roll in the feature "The Peacock" (by the Bengtsson Brothers, coming 2025) Kalle decided to write and direct himself. This is one of his projects from the recent year and was made during his studies on the practical film school Katrineberg Folkhögskola.
