Pullojen kerääjä (”The Bottle Collector”)

Short film, Finland 2018

Voionmaa Institute, Film and TV Department

I wrote and directed "Myrsky" ('The Storm'), a commercial spot for the Voionmaa Institute, made as a student project for the Film and TV Department.

The filming itself took place in a frosty forest somewhere near the border of Kangasala and Valkeakoski in January 2018. Starring six actor students of Voionmaa as "The Journalist", "The Cinematographer", "The Photographer", "The Teacher", "The Psychologist", and "The Actor", representing different departments of the Institute, the commercial was conceived as a spoof of black and white silent era comedy.

The filming was marred by some problems, such as the snow machine freezing(!) in the below-zero temperature, but at least our actors seemed to have a good time.

The location for the concluding part was the lobby of Voionmaa Institute at the Pinni B building of Tampere University Campus. The commercial was launched by the Voionmaa Institute in March 2018. The screenshot above is from the draft version.
