A Swedish film director primarily known for his work in independent horror. Born in 1992, Sundström developed an early interest in filmmaking and recorded his first movie at the age of nine.

His work often blends documentary realism with supernatural or psychological horror themes. Sundström gained wider recognition with the feature-length horror documentary Documenting the Witch Path (2016), which was screened at several international festivals and received multiple awards in the independent horror circuit. He later directed Finally Alone, a micro horror film centered on isolation and psychological tension, further exploring his interest in atmospheric storytelling. In late 2019, he created Reportage November, a found-footage–style feature film that continues his exploration of documentary-inspired horror narratives. His films typically combine low-budget independent production with immersive, realistic storytelling, focusing on suspense, folklore, and the unknown.

They find out about a place called the Witch Path that leads out to the lake known as the Witch Lake. It's where they drowned innocent women in the 17th century because they were accused of witchery.
