In spring 2010 Aino Suni (director, script) started to create a script for her diploma work. Kerttu Hakkarainen decided to be cinematographer as she has co-operated with Aino many times before. The "Sudenveistäjä" short film got also a producer, Ilona Tolmunen. The main actors are Kai Lehtinen and Jaana Joensuu.


Now, a year later, the film has been filmed and the premiere will be on 11th May. The title of the film is Sudenveistäjä, the Wolf sculptor in direct translation, but the team has not yet made a decision on the title in English.

The film tells about Sulo, a lonely artist who lives in countryside. One day he is going to meet his ex-girlfriend and there is also a young girl with a trailer full of cardboard boxes. That´s how started a long moving trip to girl’s new apartment. Sulo finds out that the girl is his daughter. He tries to tell that to the girl also, but it is complicated.

Our filming was set up in February, ten days in all. We found great shooting locations from Nurmijärvi, Lempäälä, Kangasala and Tampere. TOAS helped us to find a great student apartment from Hervanta, Mikontalo. During the shootings the weather was freezing and most of the shootings days were outside! But despite the weather conditions the crew was extremely hardworking. The weather has also positive side – shots looks amazing!
