Bio

I'm Solîn, a multilingual Kurdish-Armenian director (1996). My filmmaking journey began in England (2017) after breaking free from a culture with opposing expectations. Since then I've taken two degrees in filmmaking, the most recent being a Bachelor in Film Directing from Stockholm University of the Arts. I’m passionate about creating inclusive stories while working with diverse teams. In documentaries, I aim to tell stories about the rights of beings through a poetic lens. In fiction, I love to create complex characters and elevated worlds that delve into in-betweenness, inner turmoil, class- and family dynamics. With a background in acting, producing, music and photography, I possess a comprehensive toolkit for creating impactful narratives. Driven by the desire to provide the same kind of escapism stories gave me as a kid, I’m eager to collaborate with like-minded creatives. If that sounds like you, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Bio

Hi, my name is Marco Lopez and I work as a sound designer in film and tv-drama. Growing up In my parents house, music was a central part of our daily life. My piano teacher introduced me to the concept of tempo, harmony, and the nuanced use of silence. These lessons deepened my understanding of music and its emotional power. The pivotal moment arrived in a brief “Sound Design for Film” course in my final semester of my sound engineering studies, which ignited my true passion, pushing me towards an endless search for knowledge and techniques for sound design. Over the years of working with sound in film, I have come to realize that sound design is more than crafting unique sounds; it is about the storytelling. I believe in the importance of collaboration and close communication with directors, producers, and editors. My goal is always to support and follow the director’s vision and using sound design as a tool to enhance the emotional layers of the film.

Casting Director

Göteborg

Select

Bio

My goal as a Casting Director is to break the norm and traditional idea of what a film ensemble may look like. When embarking on a new film project, I ask myself and the director how we can create a dynamic film ensemble, considering social mobility, class, physical attributes, ethnicity and language? Thus, how do we best avoid recreating stereotypes? My casting method include situation based improvisation, time for reflection with the actors and the ability to look beyond our normative platforms for where to look for actors. I strive to be a Casting Director who is a suitable partner in exchanging ideas to expand the story of the movie, so that it can become richer with the actor's perspective, experience, body language and voice. I am thriving to pave the way for amateurs and professional actors of diverse backgrounds to be seen and heard within the Swedish cultural stage.

I've worked on 100+ feature films, documentaries, series, commercials, often from pre-production through post, collaborating with international teams from India, Serbia, England, and beyond.

I work with generative AI tools to create cinematic short-form content, spec ads, and visual development material, bringing the same production logic I've applied on set for decades to the AI pipeline: shot planning, character consistency, pacing, and delivery discipline. Having started in the 35mm era, I value discipline, efficiency, and respect. Communication, minimizing stress, and creating a positive environment where the crew can perform their best should be the main goal on any set. A film roll captures not just the scene but the mood behind it.
