Veli-Heikki Uusitupa

How many stories I have written? I do not feel this to be the right question for me. My life itself is that one story and path which has taken me to this exciting moment, where I am now building the needed European transatlantic cooperation team to get my TV drama series “KALEVALA – Return of The Golden Age” financed, produced, and distributed globally.

We offer the audience an exciting combination of historical, mythical, adventure drama, exploring the most important issue of our time: man’s relation with Nature. 1st season 12 x 55 minutes. Production language is English.

Shortly for you, who are curious about my background: My childhood I was grown up in close connection with Nature. As young adult, I was searching the meaning of life through meditation and yoga. Photography studies came along and the interest in film making awakened beside my work as a photographer and journalist.

My special interest in mythologies has taken me to meet many world renown wisdom carriers from different traditions. Along with this I had a long and deep dive into my Finnish ancestors’ millennia old oral tradition known as the "Kalevala heritage". I succeeded to restore their unique story-universe and the wisdom of Nature, which I am now prepared to bring to the world in the form of the TV / VOD Drama Series.
