I Became A Real Shell Motor Oil

This Was In '79. I Got Pretty Restless There, Sitting Around With A Lot Of People Sitting Around Smoking Cigarettes And Talking About Films, But Nobody Really Doing Anything.

You Want To Do Something That Shows Some Type Individuality And Talent And Imagination - At The Same Time, You Want To Be Truthful To The Predecessors, Because Obviously The Audience Liked Something About Them And You Have To Replicate That Experience To A Certain Extent.

I Went Out To Some Advertising Agencies And Asked If I Could Do Anything.

Eventually, In '84, We Made A Film For A Little Over A Million Dollars - With American Actors That Was Shot In English - That Was Shown In Finland A Little Action Film Called Born American.

I Did Some Film Reviews For Small Papers In Finland And Things Like That To Be Able To Keep Living Here.
