Director Statement

TIMMER (2021) is a Swedish thriller short film made in the spring of 2021. The film was produced as my final project at Göteborgs Folkhögskola (transl. Gothenburg Folk High School), with a virtually nonexistent budget that was paid completely out-of-pocket. Timmer was delightful to make and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it!
