WINS AND NOMINATIONS
RARE EXPORTS : A CHRISTMAS TALE
Winner: Best Sound, Finnish Academy Awards 2011

Dialogue and Sound Effects Editor

It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland, and an 'archeological' dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. [..] Young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare - a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality. RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.

THE CONFESSION
Nominee: Best Sound, MPSE Golden Reel, Verna Fields Awards 2011
Nominee: Best Short, Academy Awards 2011

Sound Editor and Dubbing Mixer

The 26-minute picture, which looks and sounds as good or better than many a costly feature production, begins as one would expect from conventional short film fare: Two kids in a whimsical situation. As anyone raised in the Catholic faith could testify, not knowing quite what to say during your first confession is a dilemma equally absurd and real. [..] soon enough "The Confession" turns into a chilling, compelling drama that ultimately leaves one with questions about what faith can lead people to do. In the best short film tradition, the film gets there with surprising storytelling and a resonating message. - Matthias Zucker/IMDB

Director: Tanel Toom
