Jimmy Olsson

Jimmy started to work with film in 2002 and have worked in almost every position there is behind the camera. He went to film school for two years in 2004 in Stockholm. Jimmy usually writes comedy or pretty dark drama. He is a chameleon and is comfortable with either or and he is strong making both genres. He is inspired by well written dialogue and strong realistic performances from actors. He gets really inspired by filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman, Andrej Tarkovskij, Roy Andersson, Michael Haneke, Fassbinder, Dardenne brothers and many many more. He really likes to work close with people, getting to know them and he really likes to write dialogue. Jimmy loves it when you can combine comedy and drama to get a more three dimensional story and characters.
