MIIKKA LOMMI

 

 


Miikka was born in Helsinki Europe. His first short film he did in age of 3. 8mm animated film about cowboys and Indians was shot with his big brother and father back in mid 70’s.

As a teenager in 80’s Miikka was carrying his vhs-camera where ever he went and shot basically everything in every day. Music Television was new that time and Miikka got involved with pop culture where the look and the sound were the most important elements. That passion for pop fashion took Miikka to study art directing, marketing and finally film in a film school. Miikka graduated 1998 as a film director and won the first price with his final work short film “Snapshot star” in international film festival in Helsinki.

Since then, Miikka has directed few short films, documentary films for Heineken, nearly 100 music videos for artists like The Rasmus and Dannii Minogue and hundreds of commercial films for the brands like Diesel, Pepsi, Maximus Vodka, Nissan, Nokia, Samsung. Miikka has working all over the world from NYC to Bangkok and from Moscow to London. He has been nominated in Cannes and awarded in New York and Montreux. Won in MTVE awards with his Bomfunk mc’s “Freestyler” which was the best selling single ever in Europe that time. Miikka’s fashion films been screened in Helsinki and Paris and art films (Pink Mania, 24/7shiva, Blink) has been big success in exhibitions in Europe and world wide online.

No matter Miikka has been done so huge amount of films and videos in 13 years he is always fresh with his point of view. His work is always based on a strong mood instead of story telling. He is sound track oriented director and he can capture the both sorrow and the sunshine as he is rare sensitive but edgy young man in film industry. Miikka loves to work on fashion as the fashion is always discovering the new and pushing the limits being experimental. “Or at least it should”, says Miikka.

Recently Miikka has been working with his new art film “Mirage” which will be online August 2011.
