Said about

“I met Ansku while working as a freelance director for Yle some 10+ years ago. I immediately felt a sense of camaraderie and after years of working together in different roles, I’m proud to call her a dear friend and colleague. She’s a person I can trust with anything both professionally and personally, and who is ever so hard-working, creative and caring.”
— Ville R
“Ansku and I have been working together on TV and film projects for over a decade. During this time, I have learned that Ansku is one of the most reliable and supportive colleagues one could ask for. If I fall, Ansku carries me and vice versa, always supporting each other.
Ansku is also an inspiring, humorous, and people-oriented person who approaches this people-driven business with full heart and passion.”
— Maarit T
“I met Ansku as my immediate supervisor during my internship, and since then, we have had the opportunity to work together countless times. She has taught me a lot and served as a role model of a true professional in the field. You won’t find a more diligent, fair, and upright colleague than Ansku!”
— Eemeli R
“When I started my career in the film and TV industry, I met Ansku. She is definitely one of the people who has helped me advance in my career. I have inherited work from Ansku when she has moved on to other projects and had the opportunity to be on her team. I would say it’s hard to find a better colleague. Reliable, flexible, understanding, and determined. These words describe Ansku.”
