Biography
Lillion Lost is a neurodivergent, nonbinary, genderfluid, white trans artist. They began at an early age to write poems and texts and act in school plays. As a teen they started to incorporate their written work into music, drawings and collages. They have been technical advisor and assistant director in two puppet theater plays at Volksbühne Berlin and so overcame their anxiety of reading and performing in front of people. Nowadays they express themselves in more diverse ways on stage or in films and are engaged in different kinds of queer activism. Topics of their personal output often circle around gender, neurodivergence or how mental illness and traumatic experiences can effect the human mind. As a school assignment during 'Feminist Focus Studies' at Kvinnofolkhögskolan they created their debut short film "I can only do so much", a hybrid documentary, exploring perspectives on suicidality in context of close relationships. After 2 years of studying film production at Göteborg Folkhögskolans Filmlinie in Gothenburg/Sweden they founded their own production company and are mainly working as director of photography and camera operator.

The main topic of the film is suicidality in context of close relationships. But its focus is not on the suicidality itself. Instead it gives insights into the thoughts and feelings of a close person / partner who never had any suicidal intentions themselves. It therefore provides a very different new perspective on how one can possibly think about suicide and a close relationship to someone who is facing this problem.
