Here, for the first time, I combined my song with my series idea and filmed a scene from my script. The series idea is called "The Rise of the Fairhair Dynasty" and is currently an idea for a third Viking series. To present the idea, I had the idea back then to film scenes myself. Since I write songs myself, in addition to acting in front of the camera, I also made the creative decision to use one of my own songs in the video.

Since I share my films on Instagram and X, where many professional actors are active, I decided to scale back my own acting a bit. I didn't want to overshadow any actor because respectful acting is important to me. At the same time, I wanted to showcase some scenes from my script. Therefore, I filmed these scenes.
