Samu Torssonen – "Star Wreck How to make a sci-fi film in your mother's basement”
The first Torssonen Star Wreck film (in 1992) was a computer graphics-oriented short film of space battles, produced by Torssonen himself, but later Torssonen recruited his friends to help him in these productions.. After four animated short films, Torssonen and his friends released Star Wreck V: Lost Contact (in 1997). Torssonen’s long-lasting dream had been to create the sixth and possibly final episode of the Star Wreck saga. At first Torssonen thought that it would only be a 15-minute-long special-effects packaged short film. After Airisto moved to the UK to study, Torssonen asked Timo Vuorensola to be the director. Star Wreck IV½: Weak Performance was released (in 2000) and was followed by the feature length conclusion to the series, Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning (released in 2005).
