Biography
Biography
When Mustonen was a child, his parents bought a movie theater in Outokumpu. Mustonen's film philosophy is based on this childhood experience, as he strives to make films exclusively for the general public. At the age of 20, Mustonen made his first attempt to study film directing at the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture. In 2015, Mustonen was included in the list of Varietys ten most promising Nordic directors. Although Mustonen has not received any recognition from Finnish critics, the films have earned well in terms of box office revenue and have been very popular with the audience.
