Biography
A self-taught movie director, Aleksi Mäkelä is the most successful of the modern era Finnish directors: the total domestic audience of his movies in theatrical release is 1,3 million. The Tough Ones (1999) was one of the initiators of the recent ascent of Finnish cinema, with an audience of 330,000. The biggest domestic box office hit since the eighties, Bad Boys, drew a phenomenal audience of 615,000 in only 5 months. After that, Vares, Private Eye was also the number one domestic movie of its release year 2004. Regardless of the genre, the common factors in Mäkelä's movies are a masculine point-of-view, fast-paced action and a boyish sense of humor. Matti is his seventh feature film. His debut The Romanov Stones was released in 1993. Besides movies, Mäkelä has directed hundreds of hours of TV series, commercials and music videos. He resides in Nummela, 40 km outside Helsinki.
