Synopsis
40-year-old priest, Theodor stands by in horror as his wife falls seriously ill. His world crumbles around him and he seeks guidance from his old mentor who convinces him that he has been chosen by God to rid the world of sinners in order to bring new life to true believers. With trembling hands, he commits his first murder, convinced that it is a necessary sacrifice in service of his divine mission. Miraculously, at the moment of the murder, his wife’s health improves and the congregation starts referring to him as the “miracle priest”, knowing nothing of his horrible act. But lurking in the shadows is a disbelieving man who begins to uncover the bloody traces of the priest's unholy deeds.

Born with a love for cinema, Ludvig set out early for a career in filmmaking. He started out by making documentaries, with his directorial debut being "Pretending I'm a Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story", a film that chronicles the rise and fall of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game franchise, and features many legendary skaters, including Tony Hawk himself.
Ludvig then made the leap to fiction. In 2019 he directed the short film "The Outsider", which was an adaptation of a story by legendary horror author H. P. Lovecraft. The film was released by ALTER in the summer of 2020, after having been shown at film festivals worldwide.
In 2024, Ludvig made his feature-length directorial debut with "In the Name of God". Starring Swedish household names such as Linus Wahlgren, Thomas Hanzon and Charlie Gustafsson, it is a horror-film that tells the story of a priest on a mission to expand his congregation at any cost.
Ludvig’s work has been shown at festivals all over the world and featured in major news outlets, such as Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, CBS Sports, and many more. Read less
