Now THAT's a great story!


The Purple Rose of Cairo - trailer.


Siskel & Ebert about The Purple Rose of Cairo

The Purple Rose of Cairo must be best meta-film ever produced. I truly love this picture and I keep watching it every time it’s on TV. I’m of course a big fan all Woody Allen Movies. But my two favorites are for sure Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo. I was also a big fan of Siskel & Ebert and I really miss these great film critiques now when Gene is not around anymore. I truly love film critiques who can talk about the making of the movie in a way that you know they really know what they are talking about – and inspire to new insights about the craft. Most film critiques today just talk about the good (or bad) acting and about the script (they never read).

The Purple Rose of Cairo was also one of the films I studied in college. I remember that we had to analyze the irony, the settings and clothing of the characters in relations to the main plot and the character development.

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.

In addition to this I also have a board of directors assignment in two other family businesses, in the sport distribution and real estate business. I am looking forward to a great 2010.
