I made this Swedish movie called 'Snabba Cash,' or 'Easy Money,' and it was shown at the Berlin Film Festival. A lot of American studios, agents, and people like that saw it there and liked it. Daniel Espinosa agentamericanberlin Change image and share on social
When we think back at our youth, we always remember the feeling of freedom... that you actually believe in the world. Even if it goes well for you in life, you can never attain that freedom in your imagination of what you think life could be. We are tainted. Daniel Espinosa attainbackfelt share on social
We've all done actions in our lives where we compromise what we believe in. And if we keep doing it, there's no way back, no pride to hold on to. Daniel Espinosa actionbackcompromise Change image and share on social
Almost always, when we have fights in movies, they're done in these strange rooms where nothing gets broken. It's almost like they're in padded cells. Daniel Espinosa breakcellfight Change image and share on social
I did two movies that were arthouse movies; they were critically successful but made no money at all... but after making those movies, I thought, 'I wouldn't watch my own movies when I was 16, and my buddies where I came from wouldn't watch my movies, because they were boring.'

If the crew is hit by the situation that we're trying to portray, I think we get a real and a stronger moment with the camerawork and the actors. Daniel Espinosa actorcameraworkcrow Change image and share on social
I looked at early movies with Robert Redford, and I like how Robert, even though he had that automatic charisma and was a very verbal person, he always played those more silent characters and played within the scene and never overacted. Daniel Espinosa automaticcharactercharisma share on social
When I was sixteen years old, I was sentenced to two years in prison; the Swedish government changed it, so I could go to a boarding school as part of a social programme. I was in this boarding school with some of the richest kids in Sweden. Daniel Espinosa boardchangegovernment share on social
Think about Medusa, with the snakes. If you shoot a movie in Europe, the financiers are three snakes, and they all have opinions. In Hollywood there are, like, 20 snakes. Daniel Espinosa europefinancierhollywood Change image and share on social
