**The Making of Tuuliluleima** is a short documentary that showcases the process of creating a design fiction film. It illustrates how a team of designers and artists collaborate to develop a strategic foresight tool for entrepreneurs, helping them to address their future business plans and anticipate broader trends. This documentary received an Award of Recognition at the IndieFEST Film Awards 2024.‘Tuuliluleima’ is an artistic and futuristic protopian film developed using design fiction and art-based methods. Design fiction is a methodology grounded in storytelling and worldbuilding, which explores unknown yet plausible futures. This film embodies the core principles of design fiction by creating a physical prototype based on an imagined future world. The filmmaking process, including costume design and cinematography, played a vital role in realising this future setting. As part of the speculative design, a futuristic wind chime was created to attract, measure, and respond to changes in wind patterns of the future. Tuuliluleima empowered companies to envision various possible futures and personas in different future scenarios. This approach enabled them to engage in worldbuilding and incorporate it into their business strategy development for the future.
