Hasta La Motion!

The visual effects production for the feature-length scifi comedy
"Iron Sky" has begun. Currently we have an inhouse team, led by Samuli
Torssonen – the man behind Star Wreck. We are now calling all talented
CGI artists around the world who have a passion for motion picture
visual effects. We offer a competitive pay and a bunch of extremely
dedicated coworkers. A project featuring Space Nazis is not something
you want to let pass lightly!

IRON SKY?
Iron Sky is a science fiction comedy being produced by Blind Spot
Pictures and Energia Productions in Finland, and co-produced by 27
Films in Germany and New Holland Pictures in Australia. The budget is
roughly 6 million euros. The primary language of the film will be
English, with worldwide theatrical and online distribution.

In 1945 the Nazis went to the Moon – in 2018, they are coming back!
