Here’s Valtteri’s thoughts about the start of the Junior Program:

I’m Valtteri, a 28-year old film/tv-production student living in Helsinki. I’ve been an intern at Blockbusters Gang since April 2019, and been involved in a handful of productions in the assistant director department. I also have some indiefilm background in production and assistant director departments and I’m currently participating in the BBG Junior Program (Fall 2019).



The program started with a junior meeting and now we’re a few lectures deep in to the program. Some of the topics have been working laws, communication, working safety and marketing, just to mention a few. The lectures have been really useful, insightful and motivating to say the least.
