Arto Polus
I’m a filmmaker, photographer, artist and web designer. I work for and with artists, academics, organisations and small businesses and help to tell, produce and document their stories. I can work either as a creative producer or technical collaborator. I’m interested in interactive and participatory storytelling. I lead, though I prefer the word facilitate, animation and film making workshops which help to reveal the hidden creativity in people. Please get in touch via email or by phone If you have an idea you'd like to make reality.

'When the going gets weird, the weird turns pro.' - Hunter S. Thompson
For me, It's all about the journey. I observe, try, make mistakes and maybe eventually I too will learn. I let the work speak for itself as I'm here for the person, so we can work together. I like saying yes to weird and wonderful ideas!
