Sanna Lenken and Steve Otis Gunn worked together in a London coffee shop in the late 90s — and have both ended up doing something rather different since.
Sanna Lenken is an acclaimed Swedish director and screenwriter whose debut feature My Skinny Sister won the Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, a feat she repeated with Comedy Queen — a rare double achievement. She also served as concept director on the critically acclaimed series Tunna blå linjen (Thin Blue Line).
