Good morning!

Ida Kallio started in Solar Films at the age of 15, on 13.12.2004, doing her high school internship. After that, she spent her holidays working for Solar and started as a regular in March 2008. The tenth anniversary of her internship starting date was in December 2014.

 

She is in the front row, in the heart of everything, on the timeline of several overlapping productions, from the beginning to the end, time after time, in the meetings, on the phone, in social media – she organizes premieres, proof-reads, walks Fiji (Markus’s dog), puts things in order, licks them to shape, orders, coordinates, takes part – she is a major and versatile part of practically EVERYTHING what happens in Solar; what goes in and what goes out.

Open the mail, put the groceries to where they belong, a cup of coffee, end titles of a movie, a registered letter – one outgoing, one incoming – (do you have a second?), the brandy show of the new year, onwards like a hurricane, the posting of the invoices, I was walking past and popped in to check you out, order the courier service, I can do that, welcome the visitors, hi and welcome, there we are, the coffee must be ready by now, let’s put the new dvd’s in the mail, the teaser is out, What’s for lunch today?, the e-mails are piling in, the fingers dance on the keybad as the jewelry is rattling, tap tap, a gala premiere invitation, but of course we’ll go there, I’ll take part avec, fine, thank you, update the production info, open all the doors and windows, there’s no oxygen in here, a marketing meeting, I’m-constipated-do-you-have-something-for-that?, to the post office, the Audio Archives need some material, this is going to straighten Iippana’s hurly-curlies out, the seating order of the Jussi Gala, the receipt show, no, this is not a movie theater, this is a production office, a visa application, the travel package, oh, you have a sick child with you today and you have a dog well just give them to me I’ll look after them no problem, media info, the screening, are you the girl with the hair from The Voice of Finland?, the change call sheet has arrived, let’s get the hard copies to the set,
