Founded by Hanna Heilborn, around 1998. It stems from a close collaboration and friendship with my former mentor Outii Nyytäjää (born 1935, dead 2017), finish writer, dramaturg, translator and columnist.

Testimonials

  • Rana Kadry, Visual Artist, Master student at Konstfack University of Arts, Craft & Design, 2020 – 2022

    “Hanna was my mentor during my masters studies in Visual Communication. Hanna has a unique way in giving the feedback that you truly need to move forward in your project. Thanks to her wise guidance, her critical eye and her generous heart, I was able to finish my short, animated film that got screened in several film festivals and events. Hanna is truly passionate about storytelling, social justice and filmmaking, she is an immense inspiration!”

    “Hannas boundless creativity and unrestrained thinking methods have been incredibly inspiring, infusing me, our collaborative projects, and the project she mentored on my work with powerful energy. She is an outstanding creator and an exceptional teacher.”

  • Amir Halim Filmproducer, Bachelor student at Stockholm University of the Arts, 2020 - 2023

    “Writing by starting from a specific location was a challenge for me. What began as a small writing task, based on a place, ended up becoming a full short film on SVT. Hannas course and her innovative approach to writing completely transformed my mindset.”
