My Way — creative Swedes share their stories

Six young creative Swedes talk about their passion for what they do. We've all been asked the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It requires solid commitment to choose your own path through life. Find out how these Swedes made their dreams come true.

Nicola works as a DJ and music consultant. It took her many years to realize that one could actually make money working with music.

 

Valeria is an artist with many different projects behind her. She finds flexibility and creativity to be her most valuable qualities.

 

Tobias runs a company that combines music production and clothing design with new media and television production. Tobias values curiosity and has an interest in different expressions.

 

Rebecka works with stop-action animation, as well as props and set designs. Her advice is to try to see opportunities rather than obstacles.

 

Senay and Kristof run a film production company. With experience from making music videos, they are looking to shoot more commercials in the future.

goodI.. like to see ideas re: Swedish insight - not the endless American hip hop stuff that has no P.O.V. ...copying the "current" soon becomes passe. Liked the montage of multiple "see through" images in whole & fragmented B&W. Nice. Don't let style over come content i.e., great editing....what's the story, the fulcrum of this short film!

Onward
