“The commercial and artistic success of ‘All the Sins’ shows that all the hard work we have put in to taking
Finnish TV drama and feature films abroad is bearing fruit. The original stories and high production quality
will continue to be the key to success,” said Ilkka Matila, the producer of the show.

“Cinematic storytelling is a product of craftsmanship, which demands skilled personnel, broad-minded investors and regular new productions,” added Matila.

Ani Korpela, head of content at Elisa Viihde, said the show’s success abroad underscores the fact that “skilful storytelling is universal and speaks to audiences regardless of their language or nationality.”

“All the Sins” has been produced in collaboration with Business Finland, the City of Oulu, Film Estonia and the Finnish Film Foundation.
