Johanna Ginstmark

 

Johanna Ginstmark is deeply passionate about character and story. Her quest for truth and what is hidden beneath the surface – in characters, situations and world events – is the common denominator in her work and she loves the suspense genres, drama and love stories.

Johanna has always been fascinated by politics, as well as both national and international affairs. She is curious by nature and can’t help but dig deep when it comes to understanding the world around her.

Since graduating from the Screenwriting Programme at Umeå University in 2007, Johanna has worked as a writer and script consultant. Over the years she has collaborated with SVT, YLE, SF, Nice Drama and Anagram. She has written series like the Viaplay hit Hassel and the Kristallen nominated comedy Halvvägs till Himlen.
