In 1907, Ståhlberg started a screenplay contest which eventually led to the creation of the first Finnish fictional film, Salaviinanpolttajat. Ståhlberg also produced the film and hired his friend, the painter Louis Sparre to direct it. Ståhlberg was born in Kuhmo, and was the cousin of Finland's first president Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg.
