Signe Rudberg Selin, Director/Producer of "Art Versus Love", and Cultural Events Organizer, Sweden
"Elin masters the art of using small means: Voice and facial expressions, to convey emotions and bring a character to life. It felt safe to have her as the lead role in my short film and in public theater events."
George Carrillo, Director of "Damned are the Lost", New York
"If it wasn't for Elin's fantastic performance, I believe the film wouldn't have been as great as it was."
