Star Wreck - In the Prikinning
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a feature-length sci-fi parody, seven years in the making. It is the product of a core group of five Finns, and over 300 extras, assistants and supporters. The film combines world-class visual effects, a rough-and-ready sense of humour, and a passion that provide the basis for the first-ever Finnish science fiction adventure. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is not your run-of-the-mill parody aimed solely at Star Trek fans. It is a motion picture for everyone with a taste for action, humour and zany characters. It is the story of Emperor Pirk - a star fleet commander who declares himself a global overlord and decides to expand his reign beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. The story that unfolds amidst the space battles is a stark reminder of how dangerous the mixture of ambition, cowardice and stupidity is.

Our heroine, Taryn Anwar, has broken way from Imperial control and is searching for an ancient Jedi artifact.

It was benito juarez, a Zapotec Amerindian and Mexico's first and only Native American president, who famously said, "Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace". It is the morning after the night before. For anyone who has been to Cancun, Mexico (where Americans go to get drunk and rowdy) it may be ironic to see that it is Mexicans who get drunk and rowdy in Uruguay. The mariposaHD team is up yet again at the crack of dawn to document a day at the beach in Punta del Este. And what did we learn in our day at the beach?
