I did a lot of fun stuff. For example, I wrote a film about survival skills where an ice hockey player from the biggest underdog team taught people how to stay above the surface, against all odds. And somehow, the team managed not to get relegated the following season, so maybe I helped a little? Sweden's most prominent sports news program picked up the film, happy days.
