JÄRKI KOTIIN

This three-episode video series was part of a national campaign created by Drum Communications for PTT ry. Our brief was to have space astronomer Esko Valtaoja visit real single family house dwellers and bust outdated myths about this type of housing. 

We decided to move this premise into the comedy-mockumentary genre, to use entertainment value to amplify the campaign message. We shot in real homes with generous non-actors on a tight schedule - leaving some room for improvisation too! A great reminder that filmmaking is a team sport!
