About me
I hail from a tiny town on the west coast of Iceland. Where I was taught manners by sheep and farm dogs. Making films has been an invaluable passport to exploring this world. These days I'm actively writing screenplays, directing films and teaching.
In filmmaking, all the tools are important, but writing is more important than the other importans. My approach to writing is like praying for an incremental understanding of who I am. Occasionally my prayers are answered, but the ritual remains more important than the awards.
The great thing about writing is that with a push of a button, all of my doubts and demons appear and their faces, and after a few seconds, they are not that scary and turn out to have good intentions. In a way writing is therapeutic for me, it transforms anxiety into manageable pieces.
The reason I love writing is that I know it is ecological and will contribute to my understanding of human nature, and thereby myself. Another reason is, that it will allow me to not only share my own stories but help me understand others.
