stage directing
Nothing Is What It Seems, a third collaboration between the playwright Tony Leliw and Antti as the director and co-writer, is a love triangle of a has-been journalist, his unhappy blogger-wife, and their “Swedish” acquaintance who unintentionally stirs the plot.
Biography
Antti - or "Anti" - represents one of the minority groups in the entertainment industry, as well as within the world population: blond, Nordic male persons.
In 2007, "Anti" started as a stand up comedian and has performed since in clubs around Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand, as well as at Fringe festivals in Edinburgh, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Apart from acting in films and directing stage, he has been a commercial face for brands like Converse, Amazon, Sky Sports, LA Whey and Ryobi.
Since 2013, his pun rich writing has been brought to life by his brother, Esa Hakala, colourfully illustrating Sven Comics: the cartoon ambassadors of Arctic humour.
Inspired by the cartoon world of Sven, Antti K. has written two novels: The Lord of Herrings and Cod of Thunder.
Currently, he is writing the last part of The Lord of Herrings trilogy, as well as co-writing and directing a theatre production, Nothing Is What It Seems. The comedy play is a third collaboration with the playwright, Tony Leliw.
