Movies by Iiro Panula

Born in Heinola
A story of five Finnish youth growing up during the devastating '90s recession. They live in the small timber industrial town of Heinola. As the parents of these young teens struggle through hard economic times, the five very different youths meet by coincidence to form the punk band Apulanta.

Trainer
Rise and fall of Jari Sarasvuo, as he transforms from a media person to business training guru during the crazy years of the 1990s and 2000s, just before the financial crash.

The Creeps
When a mysterious gateway between dimensions unleashes a horde of nasty little creatures into Vuokatti Ski Resort, Zach and his friends’ dream holiday takes a turn for the terrifying. What was supposed to be an epic party—filled with sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, and Hollywood legend Christopher Lambert—spirals into pure chaos as the Creeps run wild. Now, Zach must rise to the occasion, battle the pint-sized terrors, and prove that being a hero isn’t so different from the ‘80s movies he worships.
