In my past I was member of the national board of Natur & Ungdom, the Norwegian environmentalist organization for youth. I also took part in squatting houses and worked against the demolition of the quarters I lived in: beautiful, old, wooden houses inhabited by young artists and activists.
Though my activist days have passed since I moved to France, I hope my films can make a difference.
I recently shot a commercial (unpaid, of course) for The Humane Cosmetic Standard (against animal testing in cosmetics). And now I'm writing a futuristic fantasy epos with a magical forest and an emotional revolution as some of the main ingredients :)
I come from a fjord inhabited by 3 people, 2 dogs, 7 cats, 200 sheep, foxes, mice, owls, eagles and the occational moose. And about a half a million bees.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Godesses for a man Who's not a creep. One who thinks before he speaks, When he promises to call, He doesn't wait six weeks. Oh send me a man Who will make love to my mind. Know what to say when I ask "How fat is my behind?" Thank you in advance And now I'll just wait, For I know you will send him Before it's tooooo late.

What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge -
... I wish you my dear Friend a week full of dreams With Love Ana
A child is... A butterfly in the wind, Some can fly higher than others; But each one flies the best they can. Why compare one against the other? Each one is different! Each one is special! Each one is beautiful!
I wish you a great friday and a wonderful weekend my special friend With Love Ana
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form." Albert Einstein
"A friend is someone who dances with you in the sunlight and, walks with you in the shadows. Is someone who stays there in silence and, hears what you say no mater the subject. Walks by your side and, behind you and catchs if you stumble. A FRIEND is a gift, a treasure to keep,to honour, whom we give a permanent place in our hearts."
... I love you sweet friend and, I wish you a wonderful weekend. Ana
Little children, never give Pain to things that feel and live Let the gentle robin come For the crumbs you save at home As his meat you throw along He’ll repay you with a song. Never hurt the timid hare Peeping from her green grass lair Let her come and sport and play On the lawn at close of day. The little lark goes soaring high To the bright windows of the sky Singing as if t'were always spring And fluttering on an untired wing Oh! Let him sing his happy song Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.
The Unicorn Mane the colour of churning foam or snow on a moonlit night Like dandelion seed fluff as fine as cirrus in the morning light Each eye like a stormy whirlpool in the dark, swirling sea, Her horn casts rainbow haloes which shimmer beautifully Pearly coat of liquid silver like a glossy sheet of ice White feathers at her cloven hooves as soft and quiet as mice In the moonlight she gallops gracefully like a shadow on the sea With softness, sweetness and purity she looks across to me. by Anna (aged 11) ... may your week be full of Love Ana
There's nothing as nice As someone who shares, Your laughter, your secrets, Your wishes and cares, Someone who's there Through your good times and tears, Who stays by your side As your friend through the years.
"We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence."
"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words."
My soul is the piano, Your words are the keys. Together we compose, The most wonderfu melodies. Daily my soul replays All the words You send my way. Just like a composer When is writing a play. I hear all the music, As you strikes a key. And a great orchestra, Is what you make see. We are two souls Sharing a common ground. The wonderful friendship That we have found. So what is a piano, Without the player. It's like a soul, Without a desire. That sits alone in the dark, Waiting for someone to light a spark. A hope or a desire, Waiting for someone to inspire. To play the song of the heart, A song of two souls that will never depart.
