My name is Jukka Tallinen. Storytelling is both my passion and my livelihood.

I hope you’ll check out my recent documentary film Hatching Eagles, now streaming worldwide. Most of my filmmaking work revolves around documentary storytelling, highlighting human stories, such as the short film series Insights on Life.

My writing is closely connected to the natural world. I’m currently exploring publishing opportunities for my first book, so check back later for updates.

My recent documentary Hatching Eagles tells the unlikely story of the quickest ever rise from beginner to Olympic heroes.

Hatching Eagles is available worldwide on Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Google Play in 66+ territories, and flights aboard United Airlines across all continents. Worldwide sales & distribution by Journeyman Pictures (UK).
