"Ljósöld is religion, interpreted through the inner struggles of man living in a world of hope and fear. Things & thoughts from reality become symbolized in dreams reflecting the hope for a brighter future. The journey is a praise to freedom."

 I learned its not the nature of story or my own insights that matter most, but its rather the ability to lead & harness the full potential & skills of the crew that provide a director with his best work.
