Antero Alli was born in Finland on November 11, 1952 to Finnish parents
who separated when he was three years old. His mother migrated to
Toronto Canada where he enjoyed an idyllic childhood before migrating
westward to Los Angeles at the age of 11. After graduating high school
at 17 he left for San Francisco Bay area where he lived on and off for
thirty years. He is an underground filmmaker whose deep background
in creating experimental theatre (since 1972) imprints his films with
their surrealistic and theatrical sensibility. Since 1993, his features have
garnered critical praise for their "searing social insights and depth of
imagination." His films screen mostly on the USA west coast and are
available for free viewing on Vimeo and YouTube. He resides in
Portland Oregon with his wife, singer/composer Sylvi Alli. Antero is
also a book author with seven titles in print and an astrologer.
