The Pa Boys and Girls (cast for my feature film) We’ve left the East Coast. Amazing place and people!
On the road again!

…through shooting my feature film The Pa Boys. Amazing locations and running pretty smoothly. Just spent 11 days in isolation with no electricity (excepting a generator to charge the batteries) but who cares when you wake up to this everyday.

Rehearsals have started for my movie. Really exciting. It’s about a 3 piece (Maori) band that tours New Zealand and mixes contemporary life with Maori tradition and concepts. And it’s a road movie, set in NZ. It’s got to be cool.
The actors (band members) arrived this week and we’ve been learning the songs and music, while relaxing on the verandah, enjoying the views and sunset. It’s tough but someone has to do it (-:

Busy as! But still have time to snap a few pics with my phone.
This the stone carving in my Mum’s garden.

And this is a painting by artist Robin Kahukiwa (very well known here) that is on the wall at my parents. It’s huge, easily 4 metres across.

Have been checking out locations for my movie that we are shooting in May. Exciting! These are at the Havana Bar, one of my favourite spots in the city.

It’s been an endless summer here in Aotearoa. This is the moon setting at dawn, over the ocean.
