About

”Stobe is a fantastic storyteller with an overwhelming sense of visions beautiful, surreal and magical. And you haven't seen the best of him yet...” Tuomas Holopainen Nightwish “Stobe Harju is a brilliant director. For an actor, working with Stobe is a sheer treat, because he truly understands and appreciates the craft of acting and really knows how to communicate his ideas. In addition Stobe is a wonderful, warm hearted person with a great sense of humour. I could not possibly wish for more – except to get to work with Stobe Harju in many projects to come.” Ilkka Villi Lead actor, Alan Wake “Stobe is a twister of raw talent and unshackled vision, working with him is like playing the lottery, knowing you're going to win” Marko Saaresto Poets of the Fall “If he ever makes a movie, I really, really, really want to score that” Petri Alanko Musical score composer, Alan Wake “Stobe Harju is both an artist and a professional. I'd trust any story of mine into his care, knowing that he'll treat it with respect and bring it to life in ways I could never even have imagined.” Sam Lake Creative Director Remedy
