With visual precision and attention to detail, director Mikel Cee Karlsson captures people and their existence in a small village deep inside the Swedish forest.Over a period of four years, the music video director and former professional skateboarder Mikel has been capturing singular scenes from a part of contemporary Sweden where reality inexorably seeps in behind the colourful fasad.

Greetings from the Woods is a visual and personal portrait of Swedish rural life stripped bare.
