Hi all! I was born in Kouvola, Finland at 1984. I found my dad's video camera at the age of six.
I got huge instant interest to film everything. Since then, my inspiration has not dropped at all about film making. Vice versa. I spend my childhood making "movies" with my friends and
I enjoyed watching huge amount of films. I have always been 110% interested about filming and my crazy passion for films just goes on and on.
I graduated as a Media-assistant from Piippola Institute of Crafts and Design at 2006. There
I directed four short films which all went to various festivals. Especially my visual eye has got huge thankfulness of other people from professionals to normal film viewers. For that, I'm so thankfull.
Then the Finnish Army for a six months, after that some film projects as a D.O.P. and then next I went to Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences/Film- & TV Department where I'm suppose to graduate at the year 2012.
Film making is THE thing what I want to do rest of my life. For professional career and as a hobby. I want to work so hard and put everything for this. I love cinema from the deep of my heart and I wanna put my own share for this art and entertainment world.
