Rumpu ja Sulka (2024)

The Drum and The Feather

A behind-the-scenes look at how the samba community in Finland prepares for the biggest event of the year, the Helsinki Samba Carnaval. Over six months we follow three samba schools across Finland to see the inspiration that goes into the enredos (storylines), the intricacy of the costume designs, and the energy of the drum rhythms.

Produced in collaboration with the Embassy of Brazil in Helsinki, Finnish Federation of Samba Schools, and Helsinki Samba Carnaval.

Directed & Produced by Dimitri Eskelinen
Edited by Dimitri Eskelinen & Natalia Inkina
Cinematography by Sebastian Ziegler
Sound by Bálint Kiss

Educational Series for Growth Tribe (2021)

My first venture into the world of audiovisual productions. Bought a second-hand Lumix G80, a pair of Rode Wireless Go IIs, and a tripod. Got advice from my cinematographer flatmate and hustled my way into a video gig.

Filmed and edited a series of lectures on marketing topics. Here is the introduction episode on "How to change someone's mind".
