It takes courage to create quality series. Interview with Finnish screenwriter and director Tiina Lymi

Last September, the Serial Killer Festival screened the hit series Welfare Warriors (Sisäilmaa, 2021). The three-episode comedy mini-series follows overworked male and female employees of the Labour Office after the tragic death of their colleague. The series was directed by Tiina Lymi, who also delivered a masterclass at the festival. We talked about her transition from acting to writing and directing, the themes that inspire her projects, and the role of public television.
