Rasmus Callmer

I am a creative producer and visual storyteller working at the intersection of narrative, production, and cultural strategy. With my roots in Sweden and a professional foundation from Sydney, I’ve led productions across borders, blending personal storytelling with social context. My work spans from trauma-informed cinema (Super Rosa, Breathless Films) to strategic communication projects (Skellefteå/Copenhagen initiative).

As co-founder at Nordstar I hope to use our platform in order to give new voices a place to grow from. When we stop and really listen to each other we all win in the long run. Stories drive change, without them we lose track of who we are.

Past collaborations include Sydney Film Studios, AFTRS, Hogarth, NSW Health etc. My experience ranges from directing and producing to technical support in high-stakes film environments.

Jakob Karlsson

I lead the productions at Nordstar. I believe in prioritizing soft skills in order to create a welcoming and honest environment.

I went to film school in Sydney Australia back in 2016 where I actually got to know a great person, Rasmus. We knew that we wanted to create something together back then, but we didn't know it was going to be this.

For the past six years, I have worked in law enforcement. I have experience with international collaborations across all continents, particularly in the northern countries.

I want to help give voice to stories that don't make it to the news, but are important for a society in order to move forward, together. I believe our strength lies in daring to speak our hearts, to talk about what scares us, and to trust that love is the winner over hate, in every person, in every corner of the world.

Augustin Sjöberg

A director, writer and editor with seven years experience creating music videos, commercials, short films and one indie feature.

His strength lies in bridging the gap between the abstract and concrete through compelling yet highly executable visions. The small, dynamic field between creativity and analysis is where he has the most fun.

A part from developing strong intellectual properties, he is the market analyzer at Nordstar Film. Having studied literature and marketing at university, he makes sure we focus on telling the most relevant, authentic, moving stories audiences need right now.

Movies have always been a way for me to connect to people.

Growing up with autism, I struggled to communicate with others. Movies became a way for me to learn about “conversation,” as they depict real life issues. They helped me navigate feelings of confusion, sadness, and fear. I aspire to impact people through film, just as it has impacted me.

During my time at Sydney Film School I was nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Director twice, winning the Best Director award once. My biggest and proudest achievement was being selected for the Talent to Watch program alongside six other participants from 2021 to 2022. This competition, made possible by the Swedish Film Institute, aimed to discover new talents.

In Sweden, I have worked on films such as the Guldbagge Award-winning “Trädgårdsgatan/Garden Lane” and have worked as an assistant to line producer Thomas Nilsson throughout the entire production of the world renowned fourth season of “The Bridge.”

I believe I can offer a unique perspective as a screenwriter by drawing on the emotionally charged experiences from my upbringing, which can help others convey and manage emotions more effectively in their own scripts.
