What a ride it’s been! Over the past six years, since the summer of 2009 to be exact, film producer Oskari Pastila (whose last film was the acclaimed Knucklebonehead in 2013) has been busy shooting my story, which he entitled Spandex Sapiens.
Originally carrying the working title Babyface, Oskari went for more of a Marvel Comics approach and thus dubbed the work Spandex Sapiens. We’ve been filming as far away as Japan on a couple of occasions, in addition to Germany, Sweden, The Bahamas, USA and even footage from Romania, in addition to Finland. This thing has been shot on three different continents, for Pete’s sake!
My movie rival, transsexual wrestler Jessica Love, looks on at the filmed segments between takes with writer ilja Rautsi and director Oskari Pastila.
Now, after much delay and much wait, the official world premiere of the movie is at hand on Thursday, November 5 in Helsinki, as part of the Night Visions Film Festival for 2015, slated for a showtime of 17:45 at Maxim theater (located at Kluuvikatu 1, Helsinki).
It’s been quite a journey! One that features a tale of love lost and love found, falling out with one girlfriend only for me to find the girl that would become my wife. It features a scintillating theme of Yours Truly, as the prototypical throwback to the conservative retro kind of caveman from yesterday vs. the all-accepting, liberal values of my antagonist counterpart in the movie, Europe’s only transsexual wrestler, Jessica Love. It also features the price of the path less traveled by the lone wolf, who makes a way where there is no way, to create a legacy.
Sound engineer Svante Colerus puts the final touches on Spandex Sapiens.
In short, Spandex Sapiens has a lot of meat on the bone, and something on tap that will touch every viewer in some way. This movie is not politically correct, nor does it pander to the prevalent social conscience of our modern day. It’s a film that will divide viewers straight down the middle. You’ll either love it, or you’ll hate it, simply due to the vivid clash of values that are presented in the film. I am sure the critics will have a field day with this one!
Mark the date down in your calendars, folks. November 5, 2015 – the world premiere of Spandex Sapiens!
On the same night, as an afterparty for the movie, FCF Wrestling and Night Visions will feature the Spandex Sapiens Afterparty & Wrestling Show at Cultural Arena Gloria in downtown Helsinki, with a showtime of 21:00. I will be grappling against Jessica Love on that show, in honor of the main theme in the movie. Also on the card, a plethora of other top matches, and fans who bought a movie ticket to the film premiere the same night get 5 Euros off of the ticket price at the afterparty wrestling show.
