Tero Kaukomaa is a Finnish film producer and the winner of the 'Producer of the Year Award' in 2012 from Suomen Elokuvatuottajien Keskusliitto (The Central Organization of Finnish Film Producers) for Iron Sky.
In 1997, Kaukomaa founded Blind Spot Pictures Oy as a production house to produce or co-produce feature-films for international markets. Blind Spot Pictures produced the film Iron Sky for Timo Vuorensola, as a dark science fiction comedy about Nazis on the moon. They also have several features in development, including pre-production on Antti-Jussi Annila's werewolf inversion titled Human, and Iron Sky sequel Iron Sky: The Coming Race, financed through crowdfunding on Indie GoGo, on a script by American screenwriter Dalan Musson which had been released to over 1,000 fans for review and input. In 2012, Iron Sky director Vuorensola joined as partner with the Kaukomaa's company.
In 2012, Suomen Elokuvatuottajien Keskusliitto (The Central Organization of Finnish Film Producers), awarded Tero Kaukomaa with their 'Producer of the Year Award', "its highest honor" and praised him for his "extremely bold and innovative approach to financing and producing Iron Sky".
