about me

I’m a Finnish-born director, producer, editor and VFX artist based in Los Angeles.

My path in film started with a music video for my own electro band Pilsator. Shot over 2 days in Berlin the shoot was the best workout of my life. That video - All the Lines - got me started in stop-motion animation which was my first love when making films.

I’ve since worked on music videos with artists like Shaggy, Nervo, Cheek and many others and was awarded the first “Pathfinder in Music Video” at the OMVF 2016 which was a great honor personally.

I now work on commericals and feature films. Emotionally driven stories are what move me - nothing is better than a good performance flavored with VFX with a purpose. I’m especially at home with brand manifestos, films that convey the purpose of a company.

My first feature Someone Somewhere came out in 2019 at Blend Film! Festival and Sound of Violence premiered at 2021 SXSW. I’m currently working on a TV-series Halima and a developing a Sci-Fi Feature Extrasolar. I just thought myself Unreal Engine – it feels like the next big thing.

I call Central Coast my home, and surf in Pismo Beach. Contact me if you need someone effective.
