Kirje - The Letter (2015) (English subtitles) [Suomeksi] Warning: spoilers. Kirje - The Letter (2015) is a short film paying homage to film noir, the "hardboiled" crime movies of the 1940s and 50s. ”Palo is the trusted man for the elder Boss who runs a criminal organisation. A letter meant only for the eyes of The Boss is delivered to Palo by the mysterious Courier. Asking for no one's permission, Palo opens the letter... and is in for a shock. Soon Palo finds himself in a web of betrayal and corruption, leading to the inevitable fatal outcome.” The film was made at the media workshop of Pispalan Kumppanuus (the Pispala Partnership Association), which was active at the time, named after Tampere’s Pispala district, which forms a larger area together with its neighbouring Tahmela and Pyynikki .

Pian Palo huomaa joutuneensa petoksen ja korruption verkkoon, kohtalokkain seurauksin.” Elokuva toteutettiin tuolloin toiminnassa olleen Pispalan Kumppanuus ry:n mediapajalla. Se piti majaansa silloisella Pispalan kirjastolla Hirvikadun ja Tahmelankadun risteyksessä, vastapäätä vapaaehtoisvoimin pyöritettävää taidekeskus Hirvitaloa.

The Bottle Collector (2018) (English subtitles) [Suomeksi] The short film Bottle Collector (2018) began as a final project for the Voionmaa Institute's Film and TV Department. I was responsible for the screenplay, editing and direction. The text on which the film is based was created during the early winter. Valtteri Kokko , one of our teachers, helped the students to polish their unfinished screenplays. He suggested leaving out the exposition from my text, i.e. the sequence that was included in the first draft, which explained how and why the gang members originally ended up making their videos. Without the backstory being bluntly spelled out, now we get straight to the point, and, through a narrative ellipsis, the viewer will figure out what it is all about. Hopefully. We started shooting the film in April. The short was filmed in the Hiedanranta area of Tampere's Lielahti district. Lielahti Pulp ...
