Atrophy
Freja takes on a new job as a personal carer and drives far out to the woods to meet Alma, a woman who, after getting mysteriously sick, is bound to a wheelchair. Her only way of communication is with her eyes, blinking once for yes and twice for no. Freja soon discovers that it’s not only Alma who is keeping secrets, but the very house itself.

A whole new experience
This was my directorial debut in the world of making short film. It is truly a indie film, where everyone helps out, sew own clothes and second hand-thrifts. It was an intense couple of months, but the pay off was so worth it.
With an amazing team behind me we made this short film and I’m so proud of it.
