Here is my current showreel, getting a bit old now. You can watch bits of short film directing, glimpse my documentary work and see some special effects.
A newer showreel is in the works, and will be available here early 2023.

Short Films
Triad
Short Fiction, 8 min.
As a new filmmaker, I have yet done only short films, but with quite high production values. If you need an open minded and budget oriented director for your episode or even a feature, please let me know. :)
Amme and Girls Don´t Cry are both dark near-future dystopian fictions. Amme is a Finnish indie, Girls is a FAMU production.
Triad and Ekopon are a bit older student films, from two different schools, both about relation-ships between people - maybe not the most conventional ones.
All in all I have shot half a dozen ´real´ short films and a similar amount of school school exercise shorts, both
on film and digital. So fary my films have been shown on festivals in Finland, Greece and the Czech Republic.
My newest in short film, The Demon of Midday, is in post production. It is also be my graduation work for FAMU film school.
Ekopon
Short Fiction, 12 min.
Documentaries
The Logs of Captains
and Other Seafarers
Documentary, 30 min.
Lanzhou Families
Short Fiction, 16 min.
I have interest in documentary filmmaking. Here are a couple of docs I have both shot and directed. Enjoy :)
The Logs of Captains tells about a sea voyage on the historical East Indiaman sailing ship Götheborg. Lanzhou Families is about three socially different families in a typical Chinese city.
Some day I´d like to do more doc work, especially nature documentary. Maybe underwater, as I like to scuba dive..
Short Film Club
Grand Acting Studio
#3 - Murder, She Called
6 min, produced in one day
For a year, we have been running a short film club with my FAMU directing classmate Vasco Viana. Ironically named Grand Acting Studio (GAS), the club is a free-for-everyone event to rehearse and shoot a short film in one Sunday. It´s for learning film skills from scriptwriting to acting, sound and camera - and having fun. One-day films may not win festivals, but they give great freedom for innovation and trying out wild ideas!

Ads are actually interesting, you can have a lot of artistic freedom - and sometimes even some nice budget.
Here are three examples of my advert work. Hidden in Visible is a teaser for a longer video about a circus/dance company. Protu presents a Finnish youth camp organization. Battle of Korpoström is a documentary-style visualization of a 18th Century naval war for a history museum.
