An 8 episode mini-series about faith and anxiety in the land of dreams.

Linda Ulfhielm, a funny and often neurotic radio host, can’t calm her mind. Ever since her grandma died, one question has kept her up and night: can faith help her deal with her daily anxiety?

 

In search of answers, she jets off to Los Angeles, America’s spiritual melting pot. Over the course of eight episodes, she meets people from all different religious backgrounds in hopes that they can nudge her a few steps closer to inner peace.

The show went live July 18th in Sweden, on the Swedish Public Broadcasting site and social. And was also made into an 8 episode podcast and radio show that aired on public radio.

H&M's Conscious line works to promote a more sustainable clothing industry. In this collaboration, together with ELLE Magazine, they wanted to tackle the extensive textile waste that isn't correctly recycled each year in Sweden.

 

In the campaign '5 kg', which is the weight of textiles that the average Swede throws away each year, we wanted to engage the audience and asked them to help us do their part. The campaign is a reminder for readers and customers to stop throwing clothes and textiles straight in the bin and instead remember to recycle it.
