I am a 29-year-old director and screenwriter based in Helsinki, Finland.
I graduated from Metropolia UAS with a bachelor's degree in filmmaking in 2021. I wrote and directed Primal Therapy, a short film that was screened in over 30 festivals globally, and received multiple awards, including at the Tampere Film Festival, Cottbus Film Festival, and Manchester Film Festival. It is currently available in Yle Areena. My other works include writing and directing two seasons of Spiraali sketch series, which focuses on climate crisis and capitalism. It was one of the most-watched series on Yle Areena Stories platform, also streaming in
Yle Areena. In 2021 I took part in Uneton48 short film challenge as a writer & director, and received the main Jury Prize, Best Screenplay and Best Acting with a short film "Kulkukortti".
I have an affinity for comedy and absurdity. The former offers a way to address serious topics in an entertaining way, while the latter can create something relatable yet totally unexpected. I believe that laughter has the power to unify diverse audiences, and directing it toward forms of societal dissonance can be very revealing.
When I'm not making films, you can find me doing music and photography.
