Timo Vuorensola

Timo Vuorensola (b. 1979) is a Finnish director and actor, in addition to singing lead for the industrial group Älymystö. With his own fan base, he has created an image as an imaginative artist who boldly and expressively combines diverse genres, occasionally even adopting the schemes of the most abject of B movies. At the same time, however, Vuorensola parodies them, even indulging in daring black humor. Beyond ridicule and any and all generic clichés, he also takes aim at contemporary politics and social relations. Most often he makes use of phantasmagoric sci-fi stories, surprising his admirers with top quality Hollywood effects. His three films to achieve cult status are Star Wreck IV: The Kilpailu (1996); Star Wreck V: Lost Contact (1997); and Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning (2005). He spent several years working on the special effects for Iron Sky.
