Marta Lillioja in her own words…
Fail. Fail better. Fail at failing. Forgive and let go. Then do it better. That’s me. Integrity, curiosity and hunger for expression all define me.
…
Music. Words. Feelings. Aesthetics. Eccentricity. Intelligence. Old souls. New places. Unknown faces. Being on the road. Melancholy. Perfections and imperfections. Contradictions. Dark humor. Dry humor. Not taking oneself too seriously.
…
I’m inspired by the silly, sweet, and sincere. I enjoy poetry in words, books, movies and conversations. I analyze images, music, people and my surroundings. I find endless amounts of details and color all around me. I love to observe and also to get observed. I love to find the catalyst in a seemingly ordinary situation. That allows me to tell my own unique stories – stories where a hidden layer of darkness envelops my characters, plots and worlds.
Marta Lillioja in NPAFE’s words…
When Estonia’s Amsterdam-based Marta Lillioja** walks into the room, you will immediately sense her all-consuming and magnetic creative power.
It is certainly what happens when you watch any of Lillioja’s riveting film and video productions. You’ll click that “Watch Again” icon more than once, and not just because of your visceral excitement at what you are seeing, hearing and feeling. For, you’ll be asking yourself over and over again: “How did she do that?”
And you’ll be right to ask that question. Lillioja’s refined video production skills are self-evident but at the same time mysterious. They extend beyond the norms of the ordinary to a rare and almost secretive talent for merging entrepreneurial drive, management expertise, 21st century internet technology, virtual reality know-how and choreographic movement to engineer immersive theater in 2D video without your needing VR goggles to dive in.
Collaborating with Lillioja is a privilege. But it is also hard work to be on her team. Hers is a no-compromises and relentless pursuit of excellence. She will crack the whip to make sure everyone settles for no less than the best, whether it be storyline, shot lists, pre-production, rehearsal, filming, post-production, or squeezing every bit of value out of every dollar or euro spent. That last especially so.
The result? The immense pride that everyone feels at the end of the day because they have been Team Lillioja imagineers of brilliance. You’ll witness the gestation of Lillioja’s own brilliance, anchored in her Estonian heritage and sharpened by her work all over Europe, in the videos you’ll find on this page.
**Lillioja is pronounced “lily-OH-yah”.
