Another short, a blend of comedy and supernatural elements. Made when I studied for "Vocational Qualification in Media and Visual Expression" at Voionmaa. I co-directed (with the film's visuals as my own responsibility) and assisted with the screenplay. Antti Matikainen in the starring role again.

Lipas (The Box) was originally a student work from my screenplay made with three other guys for Voionmaa Institute in September-October 2017 and "remixed" (with some additional material) in 2021. A sort of mishmash of crime, surrealism and a bit of comedy. Antti Matikainen of Kirje 2 starring again.

The sequel, Kirje 2, followed in 2017. Originally meant as another short, it expanded into a full-length film. The premises are again in film noir but it turned into something more surreal. Filmed in collaboration with Pispalan Kumppanuus media workshop & Pispala Theatre, providing the lead actors.

This is where it all started. Kirje - The Letter, a film noir-inspired short film made at Pispalan Kumppanuus media workshop. I wrote the film and co-directed it with Janne Perttula (in the lead role + music + editing), a musician better known for a dark jazz project called Heroin and Your Veins.
