“If he ever makes a movie, I really, really, really want to score that”

“Stobe Harju is a brilliant director. For an actor, working with Stobe is a sheer treat, because he truly understands and appreciates the craft of acting and really knows how to communicate his ideas. In addition Stobe is a wonderful, warm hearted person with a great sense of humour. I could not possibly wish for more – except to get to work with Stobe Harju in many projects to come.”
