PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

My earlier career history includes work as an entrepreneur, photographer, writer, and journalist. Since my youth I have been interested in human development and Nature. I’ve had the honor of cooperating with many renown professionals in different fields: film makers, leaders, shamans and wisdom carriers of different cultural traditions. I have also directed courses and workshops on creative work, personal development, mythology, nature, and yoga.

WRITING A TV / VOD DRAMA SERIES SCRIPT

In 25 years of studies, I restored and adapted into modern drama the long-lost story-universe of my ancestors - known in Europe as the “Kalevala Heritage of Finland” - rooted in the Ice Age. I found there more than 100 symbolic words, several archetypical heroes and their exciting mythical adventures. With this oral tradition know-how and wisdom was passed down the chain of generations helping people to survive the challenges of the Nordic climate.

When modern science declares that Nature is on the brink of collapsing these stories have the power to turn the wheel of time toward a new Golden Age. This inspired me to write the KALEVALA – Return of The Golden Age TV / VOD drama series (12 x 55 mins, 1st season). Website: https://www.kalevala.world

DEVELOPING THE DRAMA SERIES

In 2017 I founded the company Kalevala World – Kalevalan Maailma Oy / Ltd aiming to build the needed international cooperation team for production, financing and distribution of the KALEVALA – Return of The Golden Age TV / VOD Drama Series. In 2018 we produced the Series’ teaser. We have now also the scripts of the Drama Series’ three first episodes (3 x 55 minutes) and a Pitch Deck with the synopses, descriptions and illustrations of the whole 1st Season (12 x 55 mins).

TOWARDS PRODUCTION

We now focus on building the needed global co-production, financing and distribution team for the KALEVALA – Return of The Golden Age TV / VOD Drama Series’ production, by attending the Film & TV markets like EFM, MIP TV, MIPCOM, Galway Film Fleadh, London FOCUS and also in US, Canada and Asia.
