Helsinki, Finland
I am a Helsinki-based director, screenwriter and musician. My works explore love, loneliness and friendship, often challenging traditional gender roles. My debut feature A Light That Never Goes Out will premiere in 2025.
I’ve directed the TV series A Strange Summer (2022) which was an official selection of Series Mania in 2022, numerous short films, including award-winning shorts The Last Day (2020) and You Built Me A Labyrinth (2013).
I am a little frantic and easily bored, so I tend to work with multiple mediums and fields. The open source screenwriting app Beat is developed and maintained by me, and I’m also the singer-songwriter of Musta valo. Listen to us on Spotify and other streaming platforms!
