Director Biography - Malakias

Biography: I (Tomi Malkki aka Malakias) was born in a finnish swamp-area at Finland. As a kid I liked bananas and taking sun baths at balcony. Plastic hippo with four wheels was mine favourite riding toy. At the age of two it was hard to draw a line where I ended and Hippo started. Mine childhood idols were Lucky Luke and O loupežníku Rumcajsovi..and still are!
