Director Biography – Petri Puroaho
I love creating something with zero-budget, with naive but exciting attitude. Few years ago, I started to feel that I have something to say and share to the world through visual arts and music, so I learned by myself all aspects of film making and music composing. Since the start I have completed philosphical sport-documentary ”M for…” (2019), dramatic sport-shortfilm ”Sport(ables) (2020), cultural music-videos ”Depress devestation” and ”Nae yuilhan” (2020-2021), comedic web-series with 4 seasons ”We Sock” (2020-2022) that eventually turned into feature film ”We Sock – the movie” (2022) and dramatic employment -documentary shortfilm ”The Disassociate” (2022) that was based on true story.
With my latest shortfilm ”EnaMOREd” (2023) I wanted to explore the relationship between reality vs. dreams. Film shows what is it like to live in parallel world at the same time while coping with the real life events. And things are not always as they seem to be, when watching from the outside. I have lots of personal experience on this films thematic material, emotions, reactions, sadness and joy. I hope viewers of this film will be able to reflect their own thoughts against the expectations and possible prejudices, and what it is to live between these two worlds: reality and dreams. What we carry in our minds eye can be different than what society assumes from us and even tries to conform us to so called normality.
”Blessed are the guilty ones, who dare to overcome their expected needs and love one another without limitations.”
