About

‘The View‘ began as a simple picture book, inspired by my own journey growing up in Sweden to immigrant parents in the 80s, but I was constantly hit with this urge to elevate it into an animated short film. My goal and hope is to create an experience that pulls audiences into the intimate world of a young boy grappling with the complexities of identity, love, and belonging while inviting them to reflect on the delicate balance between self-discovery and connection.

The film’s evocative score, composed by Swedish artist Ayla, is the heartbeat of the narrative. Flowing seamlessly with the story, heightening the emotional beat and becoming a core element of the film’s soul.

Self-funded and independently produced over the course of four years with the help of a small group of volunteers, The View is a story that seeks to resonate deeply with audiences and echo the journey of understanding who we are in an ever-shifting world.
