IDFA 2011 JURY REPORT
"The filmmaker is on a path of redemption after betraying her family, friends and beliefs. The personal soul-searching story offers a relevant and powerful glimpse of a politically divided Norway. Although the film maybe lacked the technical polish of some of the others, it approaches its subject with a raw energy, and we applaud the filmmaker for her extraordinary courage in taking us with her on a journey for forgiveness. We congratulate this brave director on a powerful, touching and truly captivating film. "

To tell great stories is what I do. I've worked in many different roles in creative/production fields.
As an editor, I have strong ability to shape a story by responding to the raw materials. I'm capable of listening to and understanding the filmmaker's vision.
I write essays/novels and take photographs as my hobby. No matter what role I take, it has been a life pursuing the depth and craft of story telling.
