Abstract:
Estonian startup comedy “Chasing Unicorns” (or ‘Ükssarvik’ in Estonian) has received positive reviews from all around the world, offering the pleasure of self-recognition on screen for many start-ups and investors alike. The stories and characters in the movie are all based on real-life events that have, in one way or another, happened to people in the startup community. There is a story from the perspective of Õie, a young woman from rural Estonia who stumbles into Tallinn’s startup scene before trying to take on the world with her own tech company. The director, Rain Rannu, is himself an Estonian entrepreneur turned filmmaker and the movie is based on the real experiences of more than 30 Estonian entrepreneurs whose real life stories overlap with Õie’s fictional journey.
