If you are going to provide a URL, put it on screen for more than a second.
Rule of thumb, it needs to be onscreen for the time it takes to read twice. The 'credits' are on screen longer.
Also... if its a URL, why have you not provided said link in the description of the video? This is just basic web design 101.
Hedda Archbold, Nick Freand Jones, Stevan Keane... try to actually do something that warrants me knowing who you are.

It could be terrible, but the concept of Space Nazis will get my bum on a cinema seat.

I hope when you said it could be another Plan 9 From Outer Space you meant that in a good way. Plan 9 is one of the best pieces of trash cinema ever committed to celluloid and actually has some great shots. The Troma movies are utterly dreadful though.
It does sound like a great idea, I've got a spare quid I can chip into the pot.
(www.ironsky.net isn't hard to memorise especially when he said iron sky a good couple of times and pointed to their logo)

As for Finns doing movies? Oh, the horror: https://www.starwreck.com/

Looks rubbish, will be rubbish and no amount of online support can make a difference. Just look at snakes on a plane, 80% of people backing it online didn't go to see it once released!
PS Comment 1 was written by a Nazi.
