For Swedish director Dennis Peterson, his inspirations came from seeing people starving to see content that spoke to them, just as they did with Ripley in The Alien, where almost after 35 years, stands considered as one of the best female protagonists of all time.

“REDEEM The Beginning” came from wanting to make a film about a female hero that people felt authentic and true and with the focus on making REDEEM an International production.

But everyone turned down the short film script for funding, saying the things We expected: Its not possible to make this in Sweden, its not art house enough, it’s to commercial. In the end, We knew we had to found it with our own savings and time. It became a Zero budget production.
