Hello hello!
I've been away filming for a week.
The whole little film crew went to my family's summer house at Österlen to film our movie
Allmänt Jävla Bäng. It was such an amazing experience.
Sometimes the weather was bad and we had to sit inside and wait for it to get better but for the most part everything went really well.
We worked very hard the entire week and I couldn't bring my real camera around because I was acting most of the time so here are some iPhone photos from behind the scenes.
Can't wait to see the result of all this filming!
Almost a Sound of music moment.

Hello Mr Director!

This week has been extremely stressfull. I've been working evenings and nights and before work David and I have been working on our movie. On wednesday and friday it was time to film a couple of scenes that take place at the cemetery Östra Kyrkogården here in Gothenburg and by the train tracks in Jonsered just outside the city.
Here are some photos I took behind the scenes when I didn't hold the microphone or cover the sun with a large white screen.
The actors, and my good friends, Hanna Johansson and Olle Kilström get instructions from David behind the camera.

Our favourite dog actor! His name is Kompis, which means Buddy or Friend.
We borrowed him from his owners, our friends, for the day and he is such a great dog!
Tomorrow starts an entire week of filming. I am so excited! I play one of the three leading roles in the movie and I have really been looking forward to start acting infront of the camera and be a part of this whole filming adventure.
I'll keep you posted, for sure!
This morning David and I went on a little adventure. We were searching for a filming location and had quite a few criterias to pay mind to. I won't tell you all of them but it had to be a railroad track far away from cars, roads and houses.
We started off at a place close to where I used to work some years ago because I thought I remembered the perfect spot for the scene we have in mind.
I came straight from a night at work and hadn't really thought about bringing my camera so all of these photos are taken with my iphone.
We walked along the tracks and found a crossing.
Testing, testing.
Nope, not good enough.
We stood there pondering for a while and then we went back to the car to drive a bit further along the tracks.
This house was on the next, not perfect, stop. Love the grey and sad feel of this place. Who would want to play hoops there? Not me, anyway. But I don't like sports at all so maybe I'm not the right person to ask.
Then we had an idea! Jonsered! It's a small town just outside of Gothenburg and it's so so beautiful there. I think it's one of my favourite places in autumn. You will understand why soon.
Perfect autumn bridge.
Aaaah, the colours!
Man on the roof.
AND LOOK AT THIS!
This place has all the stuff I love to photograph in one spot. The autumn leaves, the bridge, the old industrial waterfall thingies with rust on.
Jonsered used to be a thriving town with lots of factories. Now it's very quiet but they still have use of their many waterfalls producing power.
We found the tracks right next to the beautiful lake but they were above ground! Oh no!
Turned around to walk back.
And then we almost walked past it!
It's perfect! Look how David's pointing. That's happy pointing!
Such a great feeling to have found the location we were looking for. We almost gave up there for a moment.
I was really happy to have gotten a nice autumn walk as well and my phone battery was blinking like crazy so it was high time to go back home.
A Lotta without any type of camera is not a happy Lotta.
Wise words, my friends.
I'll end this post with a photo of a shy mountain holding in it's stomach for the stretched out arms of a curious, cuddly tree.
Hello!
So, the weekend was a total success! Our play went really well and everybody seemed to love it. Such an amazing feeling to know that we made this entire thing all by ourselves.
Feels sad that it's already over but this was just the beginning for
Teater Esther. We will definitely be back!
Now starts a completely different project for me.
David and I have been writing on a screenplay for a drama comedy about three girls with different kinds of diagnoses who go on a road trip and get to know eachother better than they probably would like to.
We will be filming at the end of this month so it really is lots to do now. So exciting!
You can like our
page on facebook if you want to. It is in swedish but we would love to feel your support wherever you are from! And we will post lots of photos of the progress.
Wiiiiii!!!
The leading roles of the movie are going to be played by Hanna Johansson, Lovisa Perman and me.
Hmmm! Längtar alltid ner! Kul att filmningen gått bra.
