Working with me

The person you brief is the person who delivers. On larger productions I build the treatment, schedule and budget, hire the crew (cinematographers, camera assistants, stylists, make-up artists, gaffers) and run the set. You still deal with one person.

The weekly rhythm as it runs for the Finnish S&D delegation

Plenary speeches don’t wait for Monday: filmed in the chamber, cut on the spot, published the same day or the morning after.

“He has a creative mind but also understands political marketing, not always self-evident with video producers. He brings ideas and combines different views. His talent is problem-solving.”
