When Mustonen was a child, his parents bought a movie theater in Outokumpu. Mustonen's film philosophy is based on this childhood experience, as he strives to make films exclusively for the general public. [3] At the age of 20, Mustonen made his first attempt to study film directing at the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture. [3]

In 2015, Mustonen was included in the list of Variety's ten most promising Nordic directors. [4] Although Mustonen has not received any recognition from Finnish critics, the films have earned well in terms of box office revenue and have been very popular with the audience. [5]
