Her documentary film InnSæi – the Sea Within (in North America entitled The Power of Intuition) was a successful visionary and leadership project. In her thirties, with no experience in documentary filmmaking, she wanted to reach as many people as possible who would start to talk about the world within for the first time, or in a fresh way. She and her small team managed to mobilise the support and create the momentum for it to become a reality and shown worldwide on Netflix and other streaming services. She is working on her first book. Visit her website Follow Hrund on twitter |
