“The Coltrane Code” finally on Youtube!

Posted on by

It feels really cool to be able to show my short film from 2015, “The Coltrane Code”. It is a noir jazz inspired short that was selected by some thirty international film festivals where it gained nominations and prizes. It is quite out-of-the-box story for my standards, but there is still a feminist point in it, if you look carefully 🙂

Thanks to everyone who made this film possible, including the jazz giant John Coltrane, and my favorite musician of all times, Esbjörn Svensson.

I hope you enjoy it!
