Company
Indie Films was founded at 1991 by Arto Koskinen and Petri Rossi. Petri Rossi took a good care of the company for its first ten years until Tomi Riionheimo bought the company on August 2001. The Indie Films tradition is to produce good animations and do whatever the crew likes to do. So Indie Films is and will be just what we like.
Indie Films has three sublabels: Hankikanto, Helsingin Kino-Veikot and Kennel-Kino.
