MARKUS SELIN – an expert on the audience

Markus Selin has been the mastermind behind all of films by Solar Films. Selin, who lives in Nummela, has literally grown up among the films, as the son of a cinema owner. Selin's career as a producer started back in the mid-1980s, when he and Renny Harlin made the international adventure film Born American. The film was stuck in censorship for over a year under the pretext of anti-Sovietism. Since then, Selin's productions have reached millions of viewers in Finnish cinemas. He was named Producer of the Year in 1999. Selin is the executive producer of Solar Films, which he founded in 1995 and under his leadership has become Finland's leading drama and entertainment production company – with 50 Jussi awards and 10 audience poll wins. Selin is half owner of Solar Films together with the Danish Egmont group. Markus' dog Fiji is mentioned in the end credits of all Markus' films.
