Alisa

Hello, I'm ,
a Helsinki-based screenwriter and director with a multicultural background.

The ideas of feminism and solidarity are very important to me and often appear in my work. Stylistically I like to play with the juxtaposition of softness and roughness, pairing traditional feminine aesthetics with darker existential themes. I guess my previous life as a BA philosophy graduate never truly left me. Since then, I've graduated from Aalto University with MA in screenwriting.

Currently I'm working on two scripts racing to be my debut feature: a feminist sci-fi film set on Venus “Toward The Magnificent Shadow” , as well as an absurd comedy roadmovie “Beyond The Rainbow”. Both have received grants for screenwriting from the Finnish Film Foundation.

Outside of writing and directing, I also teach. Most recently I've taught my own screenwriting class for beginners at Työväenopisto and Helsingin Aikuisopisto. I also love to teach various workshops and classes for actors as a writer/director.

In my free time I play video games, take my cat to the dentist, write smut and organize chaos magick retreats for creatives.
