In 2022, the world’s first-ever higher-education program for social media was launched in Tampere, Finland, and Finnish director Jussi Sandhu was given unprecedented access for his feature debut “But I’m No Influencer,” which is part of a showcase of upcoming Nordic projects being presented this week at Helsinki’s Finnish Film Affair.
Sandhu, a veteran editor who’s worked alongside filmmakers including Teemu Nikki (“The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic”) and Håvard Bustness (“Phantoms of Sierra Madre”), was there on day one when the so-called “influencers academy” opened its doors at the Tampere University of Applied Sciences (Tamk), the director’s alma mater.
The film, which is currently in development, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the program’s growing pains while examining Finland’s efforts to establish itself as a premium exporter of higher education and exploring the role of social media in shaping how we define ourselves.

Ron doesn't see why Syfy's fun, good-looking sci-fi pilot, High Moon, didn't make it to series. There's plenty here to enjoy...
Once upon a time, you couldn't sneeze in the summer without hitting some sort of made-for-tv movie. Sometimes, they'd be specially made for the purpose of airing. Sometimes, they'd just be unused pilots that happened to be edited into a two-hour block to fill a little airtime. For every The Night Stalker, there was a Steel Magnolias, K-9 And Company, or a Riding With Death (which went on to fame via Mystery Science Theater 3000). In other words, the TV movie pilot doesn't always work out all that well. However, you have to give SyFy credit for trying to make something out of nothing with High Moon, the television pilot version of John Christopher's novel The Lotus Caves.
In the not-too-distant future, the moon has become the new...
