Teemu Nikki Walks Down ‘Memory Lane’ in English-Language Debut – After Bingeing on Finnish Beer in ‘100 Litres of Gold’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Teemu Nikki announces English-language debut ‘Memory Lane,’ talks ‘100 Litres of Gold,’ selected for Rome Film Festival and POFF.

At one point, it was called ‘The Way Too Expensive Teemu Nikki Feature,’” jokes producer Jani Pösö of It’s Alive Films. Meanwhile, the team – which also delivered “The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic,” awarded in Venice – won’t be getting bored any time soon, developing Nikki’s feature “Defense Forces,” set in the Finnish military, and Naima Mohamud’s “Halima.” It’s still darker than your usual Finnish comedies,” says Nikki, while Pösö adds: “It’s funny as hell but the core subject is actually pretty dark.”
