- Johanna Sällström was born on December 30, 1974 in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1997 she won the award Guldbaggen for best female leading role in the movie Under ytan (1997), which became her big breakthrough.

She was best known for playing the police agent Linda Wallander in Wallander (2005).

Jens was a skilled musician and it was natural for him to use this knowledge as a springboard into the new formats.
He was interested in film making and film production. In a short time he developed his skills in sound engineering and became a highly skilled engineer on the recording scene, an equally adept film sound technician and composer for all sorts of productions.
We made documentaries and feature films in both the long and short format, information films, commercials and animated product presentations. Jens was never afraid to throw out, to try new things. He acted as production manager, producer and screenwriter. He never left anything to chance, was always prepared and well-informed and actively participated in discussions on all aspects of the work.
Towards the end of his life he worked at Ubisoft Massive (previously Massive Entertainment) on several titles, including World in Conflict, World in Conflict: Soviet Assault and Far Cry 3. He died from cancer in early 2012 at the age of 38 leaving behind a wife Camilla and daughters Selma, Astrid and Elli. The credits of Far Cry 3 start with a dedication to him.- Art Department

Georg af Klercker in Kristianstad, was a Swedish director, screenwriter and actor. He was originally a military lieutenant at the Svea Life Guards, but resigned in 1907 because he was more interested in the world of theater. After a brief period with a touring company he was hired as an actor by the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. In 1911 he became the studio manager at Svenska Bio. In 1912 the French screenwriter and director Paul Garbagni was in Sweden shooting The Springtime of Life (I lifvets vår). What distinguishes this film is that the male leads were played by Victor Sjöström, Mauritz Stiller and Georg af Klercker, the three filmmakers who a few years later would form the backbone of the phenomenon known as the Golden Age of Swedish cinema. Georg af Klercker made his first feature film the same year and had his first hit with the short "Dödsritten under cirkuskupolen/ The Last Performance". He was at the height of his career as a director between 1915 and 1917. In 1916 alone he made 14 films, a workload that probably contributed to the nervous breakdown he had at the end of that year. The next year he confined himself to a 'mere' 9 films, ending his career as a director in 1918. After some time, he returned to the theater as an actor, moved to Malmö where he died in 1951.- Additional Crew

After a few years as an intern and actor at the Oscarsteatern in Stockholm 1931-1934 he was engaged by Gösta Ekman at Vasateatern and then, 1934-1936, at The Royal Dramatic Theatre. After 1936 he became a freelancer and worked on all the theatres in Stockholm, particularly so for Per-Axel Branner at Nya Teatern and he also toured around Sweden. In 1951 he started his own theatre, Alléteatern, together with 'Oscar Lindgren' and ran it until 1958 when he was hired by Malmö Stadsteater until his early death. His breakthrough came in 1930 in a play by 'John van Druten' where he showed his adaptiveness and playfullnes on the stage. His vitality and charm made him an excellent comedy actor but his skills also made him an impressive drama actor, for example as Mio in Maxwell Anderson's play 'Winterset', as Earl in Clifford Odets' play 'Clash by Night' or as Gayev in Anton Chekhov's play 'The Cherry Orchard'. Among his movie roles Bombi Bitt och jag (1936) and Den blomstertid... (1940) are the most noteworthy.- Actor
