Rising Stars

AMANDA NILSSON
Amanda Nilsson is a photographer and director known for her vibrant, concept-driven style and imaginative storytelling. With roots in a small northern village, where there wasn’t much to do, Amanda’s imagination sparked and the love for visual arts emerged early through photography and poetry. She studied commercial photography at Fotoskolan STHLM and has worked as a commercial photographer since then, before really stepping into directing with The Mare, a debut short film that underlined her range in both still and motion work.

While Amanda usually opts for black attire, her work is creative, quirky and colorful. Her versatility shines through her ability to handle every stage of production, ensuring a seamless creative vision from concept to post-production. Driven by curiosity and a touch of humor, she crafts stories that are as surprising as they are visually striking.

VERA HERNGREN
More or less born and raised on set, Vera has humour in her DNA. She started her career in front of the camera, but soon found her way into directing. She was the youngest student to be admitted to Biskop Arnös scriptwriter class and has since worked as a directors assistant for tv-series such as Quicksand, Sjölyckan and Björnstad.

Vera has now taken that natural step into directing on her own. She’s an expert in finding characters with funny bones and creating witty and quick dialogues. If we know one thing for sure, this Rising star will make you laugh!
