Hailing from the cold, dark North that is Sweden, writer & director Patrik Eklund has received global recognition for his short films, including the International Critics Week award at the Cannes Film Festival for ‘Seeds of the Fall' and an Oscar nomination for the short film ‘Instead of Abracadabra’. A master scriptwriter, Patrik is widely known for dry, deadpan approach to humour and his beautifully crafted dialogue driven films. His upcoming short film ‘Of Biblical Proportions’ recently premiered at the Gothenburg Film Festival and is set for release late 2015. As a director, Patrik has worked with a variety of mediums from short films to features & commercials, bringing his subtle and sometimes dark comedic touch to each.
