Hello, I’m a Swedish born and raised filmmaker/actor currently living in Michigan. I’ve made 10 feature films and a tv series. I started as an actor on a Swedish TV show and got bitten by the acting bug so good I started pursuing acting. After finding an acting coach and taking classes I moved to the US to chase my dreams of acting on the big screen. Making a living as an actor became difficult and soon I found myself climbing career ladders rather than acting, I all s as bout gave it up in the rat race but after having only pro mma as my artistic outlet I got myself back into indie acting again and started working hard on my craft studying the great acting coaches and finding my way I started getting fun roles but living in Michigan after the film incentives left so did much of the quality film role opportunities. I decided on getting after not just acting but filmmaking and in my quest to learn I found rocketjump.com, studio binder and a few other sources I’ve now made 10 feature films and a tv series, we’ve gotten fantastic distribution and even made money not to mention some pretty humbling awards. I’ve had a stage 32 account a while but haven’t really used it.. I’m curious and hope there are good networking opportunities here!

Harley, just your bio alone sounds like 5 different lives combined into one! That's the life of an artist, I guess. So many of us are multi-hyphenates that go end up leading such diverse lives. Myself, I was a Mechanical Engineer in a former life. Masters degree and all. Then gave that up to pursue acting, which has now led to writing, producing, and teaching.
Congrats on the success with your films and TV show. I'm finishing post on a pilot, and hope to start getting into festivals shortly.
