Good People

It takes a village to raise a movie!

We are making this film with a shoot budget of just NZ$300k.

Many would think it not possible, but the key to it is having a great team of people who believe in it and are prepared to bring their talents to the project. It's a difficult task to be offering so little reward and yet asking so much from the people who must give their very best if the film is to be successful.

One of the ways we are doing this is by the writer, producers, and director taking no money out of the production budget up front. Instead we're spending those valuable dollars on an excellent cast and crew. Given the producers have spent seven years developing the project at their own expense, this is a way of their expression of faith and confidence in it.

We're trying to assemble a team of the very best people, all of them talented and all of them believing that cinema can be more than an industry churning out a product. But as everyone knows, in the film world "no one knows anything".
