Private Project

Don't F*ck With Pikkis

Childhood friends Dino and Max stumble upon an easy way to make money: Sell a backpack full of drugs for Pikkis’ biggest dealer, and Dino’s idol, Tony the Knife.
They sell what they can while also getting high off their own supply, with the help of Dino’s summer fling, Julia.
When Julia’s older brother steals the backpack, everything spirals into a nightmare none of them can walk away from unchanged, if they can walk away at all.

Director Biography - Valo Sauri, Kristian Nordgren

Sauri and Nordgren first met in film school where they quickly clicked and, not long after, directed each other’s screenplays marking both of their directorial debuts.
A shared interest in the human condition and why good people sometimes do bad things has guided them throughout their respective careers, leading to this collaboration on a story that closely resonated with them as it reflected their fast-paced youth and the ugly sides of the often glorified world of Finn-Swede Helsinki in the early 2010’s.
