Rare Exports

This isn't exactly original content, but this is something I'm fairly enamored with/excited about. In 2003, a Finnish short film was released, entitled Rare Exports, Inc.
This short film tells the story of a group of elite Finnish hunters who seek the most elusive prey of all... Father Christmases. In 2005, the same group made a follow-up video, which tells of precautions one must take while around Father Christmases.
Now, the same people have finished a feature-length film, which is to be released in the US sometime this year. The trailer is on Apple trailers here. It has been successful at some smaller film festivals, including the Locarno film festival.
I'm excited.
