Character House is a Helsinki-based production company founded by producer Mia Palmgren and producer/screenwriter Krista Hannula based upon the principle that character is everything - both when it comes to the stories we tell, and the people we work with. ​

​

Since we first started in 2018, we have produced fiction and non-fiction and are not focused on a specific genre or format. In 2019 we released our first feature film, the critically-acclaimed feature film A Mother (Äiti), which also landed the lead actress Jaana Saarinen a Jussi nomination. Our second feature film Wingman the movie: All in (Luottomies-elokuva: All in) co-produced with Red Carpet Film & tv was the third most watched film in Finland in 2024. Other productions include a cozy reality-series for teens, a delicious lifestyle series for young women and several short films in genres ranging from horror to comedy. Our latest short film, The locker room (Pukuhuone), a horror film for kids, was nominated for the Méliès d'Argent at Lund Fantastic Film Festival.

 

Most of our projects are co-productions and we collaborate with production companies nationally and internationally on different levels. ​We are always looking to work with new people and to try new ways, formats and media to create and tell stories. We embrace everything weird and fun and look to work with people interested in telling honest, absurd character driven stories for a wide audience.
