finnish filmmaker timo vuorensola came up with the idea for his movie star wreck, whose original was star trek. he knew that looking for conventional distribution would be almost impossible. an amateur, science­fiction comedy with an extremely small budget would hardly be attractive to mainstream studios. so vuorensola took matters into his own hands: he used a social networking site to build up an online fan base, who contributed to the storyline and even offered their acting skills. in return for the help, vuorensola released star wreck in 2005 online for free. seven hundred thousand copies were downloaded in the first week alone, reaching 9 million today.
