TV & Film works
Over the past decade I have focused on writing and screenwriting my own ideas, developing ideas for books, documentaries and feature films, plus some net projects.
In 2013 Moimedia worked on "Stora Enso dubblebokföring - Stora Enso's Double Bookkeeping" that was made for SVT - Sveriges Television [Swedish Broadcasting Company]. It was broadcast in Sweden May 2013 and a month later in Finland.
From 2010-12 I worked as a 2. producer on a feature documentary “Red Forest Hotel” that was directed and produced by Mika Koskinen. The film was selected to take part of the Competition series at Idfa Amsterdam 2011. Since then it has been broadcast by YLE, SVT and NRK and screened at selected cinemas and film festivals around the world.
I have worked as a chief cameraman for documentaries, sports, dance and classical music programs using variety of broadcast and semi professional film and video cameras working alone or with small crews. Prior to 1995 I worked on making TV shows, commercials and corporate videos as a lighting cameraman, camera operator and an assistant.
I worked from 1988-93 for an independent production company Crea Video and made commercials, corporate videos and TV shows. Since then I have occasionally continued working as a cameraman for independent production companies and YLE. I started my career in TV working as a staff employee at MTV3 Finland. After three years at MTV3
I studied producing at the Univermsity of Sorbonne, Paris and the European Film Business School classes at Ronda, Spain and screenwriting and directing by attending intensive workshops in London, Helsinki, Los Angeles and Spain.
