  • The imagining tear trailer

    I’m very happy to release this trailer for my short film “The imagining tear”! 💧

    “The imagining tear” a dreamlike visual narrative inspired by mythological creation tales, early Y2K video game cutscenes and theoretical litterature of reality and imagination I have been reading lately. Maybe mostly the work of Federico Campagna. In no way a visual theoretical essay, this short is my way of exploring the short film medium, and is the result of hours spent hand crafting every 3d-model, texture and animation while learning the medium. It’s been a fantastic experience and I am so greatfull to Konstnärsnämnden here in Sweden for supporting this project!

    The full release is still in the future but are planned to go out to animation film festivals and screenings next year. it turns out that there are MANY parts with making a semi-professional film I never had foreseen and even though I am making a self produced silent short there are more people to involve to make it into what it should be.

    For this trailer I had help from the fantastic Coco Magnusson that did the cutting, grading and music.

    Enjoy your vacation, if you have any, and stay posted on the development of this project. It will be something out of the ordinary!

    Update June 27, 2026

    Radio silence from me the past couple of months for a bunch of reasons. First of all I have been going crazy in a small, way to hot, studio working on my animated short. Luckily, the first phase is coming to its conclusions! Soon I will have something moving to show! It has been a copious amount of work but thanks to the economic support of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee I have been able to relax a reasonable amount in this process.

    I also have had the pleasure of starting a sketching process for a big public work in Stockholm. It is still alot of work and time left but it’s a new and great experience to work with a bigger scale and budget. More on that later…

    It was a long time since I felt it so rewarding to work as an artist. I have alot of projects going on and it’s all moving forward. Most importantly I find alot of it interesting and worth investing time and money into. I think the biggest benefit for me with becoming a parent is that your scope changes slightly. It’s more important for me to be present in my everyday life now and I think this spills over into the artworks. It’s somehow easier to cut away the bullshit, I think… or, I’m just still on my parental high.

    Anyway, to me this feels alot like a production year for showing things in 2027. Everything in its time I guess.
