Magnus Von Horn - Radek and Echo

In Stockholm, Magnus Von Horn worked on distributing a variety of films for Sonet and as an assistant script reader and as a light and camera assistant. Magnus then left the Swedish film industry to pursue his film directing dreams at the Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School. He has produced several short films in Poland including the documentary short Radek about 25 years old, ex-convict and former drug dealer and thief who attempts to cope with his aggressions with obstacles.
