Jeppe reflects on where his ideas come from – often from the small observations of everyday life. Music, literature, still images and conversations with friends all become pieces of the storytelling puzzle.
The conversation touches on his short film Tropical Island, a poetic project born from a group chat about adulthood and the uncertainty of growing up. Jeppe shares how personal reflections often become the starting point for fiction – and why humor always finds its way into even the most melancholic stories.
He also talks about current projects, including a new music video for his brother Mattias Kolstrup and the development of a tragicomic TV series exploring modern fatherhood.
