From Finland, the land of the original

Rare Exports, Inc. They deliver the extremely rare original Finnish product to nearly 150 countries every Christmas, exclusively. It's a big download (the small version is 35.5 MB) but that's nothing compared to the patience these hunters must have to catch their prey. [NSFW, via MonkeyFilter.]

I guess he really is a wildman! But children can sense the truth.

Wow, the time, the expense, the skill and the story really is well done. But I still feel a bit disturbed.

That was pretty good. What I thought was going to be the punchline of the entire movie was given away half-way in, and the rest was pretty imaginative, if a bit disturbing. Happy non-denominational holiday of your choice to everyone.

I thought it was gonna be Jagermeister, even though it's German, I think. You can chop the link to go to the site of Woodpecker Film. That was a really professional production.

Very well done - film, acting, music, narration...and like bcc said, the "surprise" mid-way through was only - well, literally, half the story. I liked it more than I thought I would. Quite bizarre in concept, but wonderfully executed. Thanks, homunculus.

Very well done and kept me chuckling for several minutes. Little details like the tracker tasting the droppings were the best. A little more old man tackle than I was expecting.

Thanks, Homonculus. The score had a nice "christmassy" feel to it. Very well done.

I'm vaguely reminded of the fantastic Kids in the Hall short about pelt trappers in downtown Toronto.
