I’m Leevi Oskar Ikonen, a freelance screenwriter, documentarist, film critic, multimedia artist and awarded filmmaker with a master’s degree in screenwriting.
I believe in versatility, broad-mindedness, and the power of listening. This helps me understand target audiences, challenge conventional schemas and break through the audiovisual clutter.
At the core of my work, regardless of form, is story. If you're looking to find yours, give me a poke.
