Christoffer Sandler (born 1986) has worked in film and television since 2010. In 2018 he wrote and directed the comedy series SJUKT OKLAR (ELLEN & VERA) for the national Swedish public broadcaster, SVT. The series was very successful within its target group 13-18 years old, with half a million views. SO DAMN EASY GOING is Christoffer’s feature debut.

Joanna, a teenager with ADHD, is trying to navigate a chaotic world and her own thoughts. She lives with her father, who is struggling with depression, and is desperately searching for a way to pay for his medication. The charming Audrey enters her life, but even love isn’t as simple as she’d like it to be. This honest and at times bitterly funny coming-of-age story shows how difficult – and yet necessary – it is to accept oneself.
