"We have secured about 6.3 million euros through traditional film funding channels like the Finnish Film Foundation, Eurimages, Hessen Film Invest, Screen Queensland, pre-sales etc. We are now aiming to cover 900,000€ of the budget with crowd funding: securing money from volunteers via merchandise sales, preorders and an upcoming investment possibility, which gives You a chance to take part in this movie project."

Iron Sky is a high level example of the sustainable economic strategy behind grassroots multimeda productions. If in the past the counter-culture cinema was forced to cope with very limited technical means, today digital effects seem to make a DIY blockbuster possible.
