“..you should do your best to watch ‘Hatching Eagles’. It left me with a bunch of questions and mixed feelings, but you should first take it at face value. Can a child be taught anything in 10,0000 hours?"

Substack find. Thanks Mike. See my film on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Youtube Movies.

Found my indie doc on a pirate site labeled as a "Hollywood film." Not sure whether to be annoyed or take it as a compliment.

Finished one, started another. This story’s been brewing for some years. I wrote it earlier as a screenplay, now it’s becoming a book. Pantser 👋 writing this way feels different, but for now, it’s rather nice to have a framework.

While the world feels crazy, maybe my doc can offer a break. Watch it on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, or Yt Movies. It’s a story about the quickest-ever rise to the Olympics, starting from zero. A reminder that each of us has so much potential to learn new things. www.jukkatallinen.com/films/hatchi...

A place to sit, pen and paper, photography and filmmaking, flyfishing for food. My home for several days - no service, no problems, no people either. 200 km; it was a good walk. #naturewriting #arctic

Doing a bit of editing before a writing session and watching the word count shrink feels like finishing a great run - only for Garmin to bluntly declare you Unproductive. #writing #trailrunning

I’m always amazed by how, on a deeper level, writing and documentary editing feel so connected. Especially editing writing - it has this strange similarity to cutting a doc. Finding the rhythm, shaping the narrative, knowing when to let things breathe. Lucky to be doing both. #postchat #writing

We Finns (or just me) generally suck at self-promotion, but I'll try. “Like a documentary version of Cool Runnings, this remarkable film charts a unique, and not always comfortable, experiment in winter sports training" Snow Magazine 2025 writes about my doc. Off to watch Cool Runnings. #documentary

Trailer for my doc, now streaming on Apple TV, Amazon and Youtube Movies / Google Play #documentary #filmmaking youtu.be/yaEPfRbZgpo?...

Happy to have my film selected to ISFF International Sport Film Festival in Slovenia. Will be broadcasting in Slovenian Planet TV also, and some other big news coming soon. I worked on the film for five years mostly solo, great to get it in front of audiences #documentary #olympics
