About Susanne
I have been working in the theatre for many years and now writing and directing my own films. I'm Swedish and live in Taiwan. I love mythology, history and philosophy. My goal is to direct my own feature films.
When I was a child, making movies seemed like something impossible to do. Most movies were made in far away big cities like London or LA. So I was never interested in the film industry.
But! Nowadays everyone everywhere can make movies! And all kind of movies are made and streamed everywhere! LOVE it!!!
I have made four short films since 2018 and they have screened at about 80 film festivals worldwide. 27 awards and 35 nominations. Mostly B festivals, arranged by other filmmakers all over the world. I'm using the festivals as a way to network. To learn to know filmmakers in other countries and to know how the film industry works worldwide.
At Stage 32, I would like to connect with other indie filmmakers who produce their own films so we can learn from each other. And I'm curious about how bigger production companies work and produce film and would like to learn more.
Unique traits: My teams most of the time say that I'm a good team worker. I grew up in a family with many artists so it's more of a life style to me. For me kindness, joy and creativity are the most important. Art is a universal language. Let's enjoy it together!

Perfume commercial (

Commercial by Taipei production company Young girl at the beach I have done a lot of different commercials during the years.
