Aamu Film Company will invest in Jenni Jauri’s new production company Silmu Films, Variety has found out exclusively. Aamu, founded in 2001 and co-owned by Jussi Rantamäki and Emilia Haukka, has become a local arthouse powerhouse thanks to its festival-friendly slate, especially Juho Kuosmanen’s “The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki” and Golden Globe-nominated “Compartment No.
6,” awarded the Grand Prix in Cannes. “We had a good film with decent sales and we started to think about what we should do next,” Rantamäki said. “Aamu’s brand is simple and clear: we only work with a select few directors.
We don’t want to change that; we don’t want to turn into a factory where you don’t know what is happening and with whom. So first we decided not to grow, and then realized we could invest in a new company instead.” Apart from Kuosmanen, the company collaborates with the likes of Mikko Myllylahti (“The Woodcutter Story”) and Hannaleena Hauru (“Fucking with Nobody”), recently welcoming Tia Kouvo into its midst.
Kouvo’s feature debut “Family Time” premiered in Berlin this week, with The Match Factory handling sales. Under the deal, Aamu will own 30% of Silmu Films’ shares.
