Exciting news from Colorado over night - Te Ara (The Path) picked up Best Adventure Short at Boulder International Film Festival. Te Ara has definitely found its place on the mountain film festival circuit but even better to premier at a general film festival and receive this award :) And best of all, director Alexis Smith was there to receive it. Happy days and much credit to the whole small but perfectly formed team.

This is a story of two powerful women who have both...

Woohoo! Lovely news to round of the week - Mister Organ has released in North America and has been selected by NYT as their critic's pick :) Huge credit to David Farrier but also hooray for the whole team both in NZ and the States.

A documentarian’s investigation into peculiar events outside a New Zealand antiques shop turns into a horror story.

OPINION: These are a trio of vital, disparate local stories from very different decades.

15/07/2023

MS. INFORMATION IS COMING and we're excited to bring it to a New Zealand audience in just ONE WEEK at Whānau Mārama New Zealand International Film Festival.

Love her or hate her Dr. Siouxsie Wiles is an uncompromising force and Ms. Information captures the extremes of response to her in the most divisive of times.

I salute director Gwen Isaac. This film has taken grit and care in equal measures and she's crafted a deeply revealing and uneasy cinematic documentary.

New Zealand Premiere - Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland - 5.45pm Sunday 23rd July and many other screenings throughout the country.
