I am Esko Metsola, a retired returnee from Zimbabwe, Africa, where I ran my own company, Zimbabwe Interfilms. I have spent my life in film and photography and have broad experience in many aspects of the industry. In Zimbabwe, I mainly worked in film and video production, but I also worked as a photographer when needed. I returned to Finland in early December 2012 and have done some freelance work since. My pension is modest, so I am seeking temporary work, freelance assignments, or part-time positions in the audiovisual field. While I am open to full-time employment, I expect modest earnings to supplement my pension. I am healthy, based in Leppävaara, Espoo, and I own video and photography gear suitable for HD production; my computer has the necessary editing and image-processing software. I maintain the KUVAT ESILLE site, the KUVAT ESILLE YouTube channel, and the KUVAT ESILLE Blog, and I work as a peer tutor for Enter Seniors. I continue to develop audiovisual projects as a freelancer.
