Tuomas M. Mäkelä has finished working as sound designer and the original film music composer for a short film called Ihmisiä tiellä (Hit The Road). Films running time is 40 minutes and it took almost a year of hard work to finish the work with the film soundtrack.

Ihmisiä tiellä (Hit the Road) is a film about groups and not belonging to groups. The drama takes place in an efficient, faceless school environment, where three members of the school staff are feeling uncomfortable in the brutal embrace of this uncommunity. They don’t feel like they belong. Directed by Arttu Haglund, the film features Panu Tuomikko (Against the Dark), Tommi Korpela (A Man’s Job) and Harry Viita (The Rose of the Rascal) in its leading roles.

The film music and sound design was the final thesis work by Tuomas M. Mäkelä to TAMK University of Applied Sciences, School of Art and Media.

The film will be shown on TAF 09 – Tampere Art Factory Festival during 15th and 16th of May, 2009.

More information about the film, the film trailer and the full film is available at official film website.
