FILMOGRAPHY AS A DIRECTOR
HOVERING OVER US (2023)
short docufiction, 17"
Very small beings are often behind major events on the planet. Hovering over us observes mosquitoes, the tiny creatures that float around us. The hybrid film dives into a reality where the smallest creatures have become unpredictably significant. Past, present and the imaginative overlap and create strange visions, where uncanny details start to resemble prophecies and a human becomes a tiny piece of the big buzzing puzzle.

CRACKING SOUND (2019)
documentary, experimental, 11"
A dreamlike ride through an apocalyptic northern landscape. A man is tracking elk by the side of a field. In the distance a harvester glides among the trees like a great iron beast. The landscape awakens as we ride through it half asleep. Cracking Sound is a frenzied journey to the heart of the end times, to the struggle between man and nature. BA Film from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
