About director:
Jonas Selberg Augustsèn's (b. 1974 in rural northern Sweden) professional course is as crooked as the winding roads of his native countryside. He started as a carpenter and then launched himself into the successful Swedish fashion industry, a not altogether obvious step. After a few years there he moved on to the film industry. He graduated from the School of film directing at the University of Gothenburg in 2003.
