And Finnish made...
Clips...
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is an epic science fiction parody. Production of the film begun four years ago, the original intention being to produce a 15-minute special effects clip. Our ambition grew in pace with our abilities, however. Apart from the title, the film we are about to release has very little in common with our first drafts.
Humility stops us from proclaiming this film a piece of Finnish cinema history. The truth is, however, that In the Pirkinning will be the first movie produced in Finland to contain lots of high quality special effects, space combat and no-holds-barred action in a science fiction environment.
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning begins with Captain James B. Pirk of the starship Kickstart shipwrecked on the 21st century Earth with his crew. Originally from the distant future, Pirk and his crew travelled back in time to save the Earth from hostile aliens, but lost their ship and became stranded. Things are not looking good for our heroes. Pirk's daily routine consists mainly of stuffing his face at the local fast food restaurant, and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future.
As the prospects for humanity's conquest of space look increasingly bleaker, Pirk comes up with a questionable plan to save mankind's future...
The movie is being produced by a small team lead by Samuli Torssonen, supported by a large group of both amateur and professional volunteers interested in the project. As the production team is self taught, In the Pirkinning could be called an amateur movie - but we are aiming at professional standards in all aspects of the production (except acting, even though we do our best it is more or less impossible to find a cast of experienced actors for a project of this size and budget). There are clear advantages to working outside the established production machine too: working on our free time and with a limited budget brings us independence from tried and tested formulae. We are free to attempt storylines and scenes that would be considered impossible in a commercial production.
