the Crew

Eir Lindström-Holmy (Associate Producer) has been a traveler all of her life. She was born in the States, but has spent many years in England, where she studied communications, art, physics and English. It was in New York that she had her first experience with film, when she took an intensive course in practical film-making. During that time, she made her first film, ‘Art Therapy’, a ten minute 16mm short, about an artist who’s only inspiration is violence. Eir later went on to the Surrey Institute of Art and Design (England) to continue with her film-making. She has been working on this project since the very beginning of pre-production, in ever shifting roles.
