I'm a Finnish, up-and-coming screenwriter. During my time in the University of Lapland I wrote and directed several shortfilms, mostly focusing on either horror or comedy. The last few years I've been working on feature length screenplays and I am ardently looking for opportunities outside of Finland to showcase my works as a writer. I enjoy exploring psychological themes tied together with social and political issues. I enjoy working in an international environment and as a person I am passionate, kind, optimist and meticulous. Ibwork well in a team and am always looking for new ways to challenge myself artistically.
