(2007) and his recent drama I Won’t Come Back (2014) as well as his work as a media executive, actor, screenwriter and journalist.

The new fiction film, entitled Erik Stoneheart, revolves around an 11-year-old boy called Erik (Herman Avandi), who is convinced that he has a stone for a heart. That’s why he doesn’t mind that his parents have no time for him or that he has no real friends. When his family moves to a villa they inherited from Aunt Brunhilda, he discovers another family living there – Maria (also aged 11, played by Florin Gussak) and her dad, whom Erik’s parents want to kick out. When the family gets an eviction notice, Maria hatches a secret plan to bring back her missing mother to save them. Together, they end up on a fantastical journey to the In-Between-World, and Erik learns how hard it really is to wear a heart of stone. Other cast members are Juhan Ulfsak (playing Coldshoe), Laura Peterson-Aardam (Captain), Renars Kaupers (Versac), Jules Werner (Pop), Norbert Rutili (Tiny Pirate) and Nickel Bösenberg (Buckethead).
