Santtu Salminen

I am a 28-year-old director and screenwriter based in Helsinki, Finland.

 

I have an affinity for comedy and absurdity. The first offers a way to deal serious topics in an entertaining way, the latter can create something relatable with something totally unexpected.

​

I graduated from Metropolia UAS with a bachelor's degree in filmmaking in 2021. My self-funded graduation film, Primal Therapy, was selected to over 30 festivals, and it won multiple awards, e.g., at Tampere Film Festival and Cottbus Film Festival. I am currently working on a comedy sketch series with LuodoMedia and YLE.

 

When I'm not making films, you can find me doing photography or music.
