Anne Puolanne

“Currently I’m inspired how I’m able to work within an industry that has a huge platform. Film and TV has the ability to talk about the hard topics in the most innovative way and really make a positive difference in the world – we should seize the opportunity! We reach our audience daily, but it’s still not that common for people to know the details of production culture and what’s the true prize of making news and hit shows. We should push for sustainable future both in front of and behind the camera.“
