Goodbye, and Hi… is a short film about the encounters and farewells that shape our lives. Through a montage of interwoven moments, we meet people navigating a first date, saying goodbye to a beloved grandfather, quitting nicotine or arriving in a new city. Small, everyday changes sit alongside life’s major turning points in a story about letting go, starting over, and how a goodbye can sometimes become a new hello.

Dirección
Originally a professional dancer and choreographer, Michael’s passion for film began as a “plan B” but quickly took center stage. From filming dance classes, he quickly grew into directing music videos, commercials, and short films—while also assisting world-renowned directors such as Niklas Larson, Harmony Korine, and Tom Kuntz, thereby becoming a trusted and highly valued team player. As a director, Michael offers a distinctive vision, seamlessly blending movement and emotion on screen. His eye for movement allows him to create a dynamic interplay between camera and choreography, transforming physicality into a powerful storytelling tool. Yet, as seen in Malin & Oskar and his other shorts, his creative range extends far beyond choreography. He’s represented by B-Reel Films as a commercial director. In 2025, he wrapped four short films now on the festival circuit. In parallel, he’s developing a TV series and a feature with B-Reel’s drama division. Known for his social ease and warm presence, Michael brings energy and positivity both on and off set. And if you ever find yourself with him and a PC, be warned: he might just remind you why he was once a world-class, top-ranked e-gamer.
