HOME NARRATIVE ASTRAEA REACH US

WE ARE MADE OF STARDUST

Nordstar is a narrative development company dedicated to international co-production. We advocate for premium minimalism – a way of working that values clarity and craftsmanship over spectacle.

In collaboration with production partners we develop original, emotionally intelligent stories in a market often driven by repetition. Our focus is not on chasing trends but on building meaningful relationships, learning the terrain and creating work that endures.

As technology evolves and AI reshapes how stories are told, we stay grounded in what defines us; human-centered storytelling crafted with honesty and heart.

We are a small team with a focused slate working hands-on across development, packaging and early financing. Our goal isn’t scale, we seek depth and creative integrity.

Sometimes I wonder,

I am a creative producer and visual storyteller working at the intersection of narrative, production, and cultural strategy. I believe stories drive change, without them we lose track of who we are.

With 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 of Nordstar, I focus on developing emotionally resonant films with international appeal.

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.

am I good enough?

Leading means showing the way.

I lead the productions at Nordstar. From start to finnish, getting the right people for the right purpose to work together. I believe the master key for this is to prioritize soft skills and to create a welcoming and honest environment.

The last five years I've worked in law enforcement, in Sweden's two largest cities. It has put me in the midst of critical and tragic events, but it has also taught me about coping with stress and the importance teamwork.

I've led investigations regarding severe crimes, international security collaborations and done work overseas, in all continents.

At Nordstar, I want to create an environment where people feel seen, heard and understood. I want us to help give voice to the real stories that are often left untold. The 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.

Because I am,

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.

Surrounded by stars.

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.
