Produced by Brain Academy, The Perfect Patient is a journalistic thriller about a man who sacrificed everything in a hunt for the truth. In the film ‘directed by Mikael Håfström, journalists Hannes Råstam (Jonas Karlsson: The Snowman) and Jenny Küttim (Alba August: The Rain) uncover the miscarriage of justice that led to the wrongful imprisonment of mental patient Thomas Quick (David Dencik: ‘No Time to Die’) as the country’s worst serial killer.
Rickard spent over 100 days editing the movie. DejaEdit made it possible for him to be located anywhere in the world and still be able to share all his media and timelines with colleagues and clients, synchronising everything seamlessly. This included receiving dailies from the shoot.
Rickard was first inspired to step into the world of editing from the age of fifteen, editing his very first film titled Hata Göteborg, which received favourable reviews and made it to the big screen. After film school, he was snapped up as an editor on a large television series production. Following soon after that, Rickard edited his first all American block buster feature film Lords of Chaos which opened up the gate to Hollywood.
In addition, The Perfect Patient was also selected as one of Sweden’s three finalists for submission to the 92nd Academy Awards in 2019.
