May 4th, 2009 www.wreckamovie.com, the Internet and Tampere, Finland.
Energia, the creators of Star Wreck and Iron Sky, today publicly
launched their latest project, a new web video series about cyber
crime. The production was launched on Wreckamovie, the collaborative
movie making community and as it’s first task the Wreckamovie
community came up with a working name for the new production: Project
WORM.

Project WORM will be directed by Timo Vuorensola, director of “Star
Wreck - in the Pirkinning”, and it will be created by the Wreckamovie
community, making it one of the first crowdsourced internet video
series. Just like “Star Wreck - In the Pirkinning”, Project WORM will
be distributed for free on the internet. “The Star Wreck experience
showed us that free distribution and working closely with the
community is the way to go. Since we released Star Wreck for free we
have seen over 8 million downloads making it the most downloaded
Finnish movie of all time. With Project WORM our ambition is to reach
a much bigger audience as we are creating a truly global production
from day one.”

Crime on the internet is a growing problem and spam, botnets, viruses,
worms, Nigerian letters are affecting millions of people online every
day. “I have been fascinated by the scams like the Nigerian letters
offering 10s of millions in return for doing next to nothing for
years. What kind of people hide behind these? And what are these
botnets that we hear about all the time nowadays that are taking over
our computers? And who is operating these botnets and for what
purpose? Project WORM will be a fictional web video series, but our
intent is to work very closely with industry experts and the
Wreckamovie community to make the stories feel very real and
realistic. And we believe that there are so many untold cyber crime
stories out there that are just waiting to be told and shown as part
of Project WORM. The great new is that now anybody out there on the
internet can join the production on Wreckamovie and work together to
create a new and unique web video series.”

The initial production plan includes the creation of 6 episodes, all
shot in different locations around the world, working very closely
with the local communities through the global Wreckamovie service. You
too can join the production today at www.wreckamovie.com!
