Director Statement
Born and raised in Sweden, a society where people pride themselves on independence and where strangers typically don’t talk to one another before a few drinks. I often felt out of place in a culture that could be perceived as cold and judgmental. Living there, I experienced alienation and often observed it in others around me.
Loneliness, a pervasive and often dominant emotion, remains a seldom discussed topic. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it is crucial for society to openly address negative emotions. BFFR not only promises entertainment but also seeks to shed light on loneliness, fostering healthy and therapeutic conversations about this shared human experience.
The film takes a playful yet thoughtful approach to loneliness, focusing on the protagonist, Angelica, and the lengths she goes to combat her sense of isolation. Comedy, in my view, is a powerful medium to connect with people. BFFR uses humor to effectively delve into challenging issues, offering both entertainment and insight into the complexities of
loneliness and human connection.
