The conversation explores the making of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, a no-budget, fan-made sci-fi parody that evolved into a full-length feature film. Directed by Timo Vuorensola and created by a group of Finnish friends over the course of seven years, the project grew in ambition, technical skill, and cultural impact. Timo shares behind-the-scenes challenges, humorous setbacks, lessons learned, and how the film’s success unexpectedly positioned it as a pioneer in digital distribution and a touchstone for Finnish film culture.
