Timo Vuorensola sits down with Giles Alderson and Robbie McKane to chat making his epic Iron Sky feature and his latest release in the trilogy Iron Sky: The Coming Race.
 
He talks about his start as a filmmaker by creating a studio in his mates garage and how he made Star Wreck and watching as it grew into something huge.
 
How he created a buzz for his 'Nazi's on the Moon' concept in Cannes and got interest from some big players and how he started an early kickstarter to raise money to shoot the film.
 
How being a debut film-making can be daunting, how he was nearly fired and how he learnt fast and hard and turned it around.
 
He talks about his new film in the Iron Sky series The Coming race and how you can work with actors on a cgi heavy film.
 
And how constant Sauna use is perfect for finnish filmmakers and humans alike and so much more.
 
Iron Sky: The Coming Race - Synopsis: Twenty years after the events of Iron Sky, the former Nazi Moonbase has become the last refuge of mankind. Earth was devastated by a nuclear war but buried deep under the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity or destroy it once and for all. The truth behind the creation of mankind will be revealed when an old enemy leads our heroes on an adventure into the Hollow Earth. To save humanity they must fight the Vril, an ancient shapeshifting reptilian race and their army of dinosaurs. Boasting stunning special effects and visuals, the film stars Lara Rossi (Robin Hood), Vladimir Burlakov (Deutschland 86), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world champion Kit Dale, Emily Attack (Inbetweeners), Julia Dietze (Iron Sky), Stephanie Paul (Iron Sky), Tom Green (Road Trip), Udo Kier (Blade) and written and directed by Timo Vuorensola (Iron Sky).
