Arttu Hypén

Locations & AD Staff

Arttu has a background in both independent films and large-scale international productions. He has worked in AD, production, and location departments on multiple projects, holding various positions depending on the production scale. Tasks have included assisting the Location Manager on and off the set, casting and coordinating background actors prior to and during the shoot, and also directing them in conjunction with the AD team.

Arttu’s strengths lie in his observant personality and strong dedication to the industry. He thrives in hectic situations with his colleagues and other people – whether they be crew, cast, background actors, location owners, or passersby. But he also takes distinct pleasure in methodical and detail-oriented spreadsheet work.

In the future, Arttu hopes to gain more knowledge in call sheets, directing crowds, and running the set. He is open to trainee positions and assistant work to learn more about these duties.

P.S. Arttu is also a film fanatic – if you want someone with great movie trivia knowledge, he is certainly your guy!
