10 minuuttia aikaa jäi yli…
(Kuva: Matti Näränen. Lyhytelokuvan Pyhää maata kuvauksista.) Olin mukana joukkueessa, joka osallistui Uneton48-lyhytelokuvakilpailuun. Ideana oli tehdä lyhäri alusta loppuun 48 tunnin kuluessa.

Film: Kinji Fukasaku: Virus (Japan, 1980) Virus is an Eighties catastrophe movie about a virus that kills everyone on Earth except for the people living on Antarctic bases.
