The master of Rom com...

What can you say about writer Richard Curtis, other than that he is truly todays master of rom-coms.


From Four weddings and a Funeral, to


Notting Hill (just finished watching this back at my hotelroom).


and Bridget Jones Diary (screenplay).

In a writers note in the published script of Four Wedding and a Funeral, Curtis gives us four advices for a successfull script.

1. Never write your idea at once. Think about it for a long time, before you actually start writing.
2. Never write on commision.
3. Meke sure you have your script edited by someone you really trust.
4. Try to cast Hugh Grant in all parts.

Many people have tried the last one, but forgot that Hugh Grant alone doesnt make a good movie. You need Richard Curtis as well...

Among the films I produced is THE OTHER SIDE, that highlighted the swedish immigration policy and won the swedish filmintitute, short-/novellofilm award in 2003 as well as participated in competition in Lucarno international filmfestival. I'm skilled in digital art of filmmaking, educated at Colorado Mountain College and Swedish Gothenburg Fimacademy, Drama Center, as well as the filmproduction program at University West.
