CREATING EXPERIENCES Through EMOTIONS

I grew up in Helsinki, Finland, in the 80's, and spent most of my childhood glued to the TV fascinated by the worlds and stories told in movies. As a teenager, in my rage against the world, I saw a documentary film and it struck me to the core. It correlated with my true feelings of the world and blew me away with its authenticity. Since then my passion has been telling dramatic and cinematic real world stories, in both fiction and documentary.

Since 2009 I'm lucky to have directed award winning documentaries, travel series with record-breaking audience ratings, campaigns and branded content films from all around the world. I'm always looking for new projects, stories and scripts waiting to be told. Experienced with in-depth interviews, contact and communication, scripting and dramaturgy, international productions, humanitarian topics and leading international workshops. In addition to directing I served 2016-2018 as the Artistic Director of DocPoint Helsinki Documentary Film Festival. The past few years studying different acting methods and new storytelling technologies. I spend my free time in nature.
