THANK YOU FOR PATIENTLY WAITING (Winner - Special Jury Award for Directing)

Josef is involved in a car accident that throws him into a roller coaster of memories, large and small. He remembers his severely depressed father in a Santa suit, the angry neighbor shouting during a wild house party, his mother’s unconditional love, and the New Year’s Eve that ended in romance and vomit. Why all these memories appear, and what they mean, he won’t know until the end.

Directors' Bio:

Max Marklund & Anders Jacobsson is a writer/directer duo from

two different generations. They are both born and raised in

Stockholm, Sweden. Max started his career as a digital effects artist, but his passion for directing and storytelling made him take

the leap and focus on filmmaking. Anders is the cinematographer who didn't just want to look through the viewfinder, but also wanted to tell his own stories. He lives and dies by the motto: If we can do it in camera, we will do it in camera.
