Tiril Myhre Skår(b.1997) is a young filmmaker who focus on telling queer stories and movies with queer characters in them. She graduated with a bachelor degree in film in 2019 and during her last semester she managed to have her documentary "Tomboy" shown at Kristiansand International Children's Filmfestival. Later that year it was shown at BUSTER filmfestival in Copenhagen. She has also shown her short "Are You Asleep?" at the Norwegian Short Filmfestival in Grimstad in 2018.
"There were no movies about queer children FOR children when I grew up, and there still isn't enough queer media representation for children to this day. So I wanted to make this film so children like myself could finally see stories like their own reflected on the screen."
