A movie about a movie that died — and the beautiful mess left behind.
A multi-storyline film which follows the aftermath of a stalled movie project in Wellington. As the various members of the cast and crew resume their everyday lives, the intricacies of their relationships with one another become increasingly difficult, as their conflicting needs and desires become impossible to resolve.
Acting
Cast of relative unknowns delivering devastating naturalism.
Writing
Dialogue so awkwardly real you'll need to pause and recover.
Director
Alexander Greenhough
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Alexander Greenhough had previously worked on Peter Jackson's King Kong, making this micro-budget drama about creative failure a fascinating counter-narrative to Wellington's blockbuster reputation.
Shot during the same mid-2000s NZ indie boom that produced Eagle vs Shark, this film captures a specific Wellington creative scene now largely displaced by rising costs.
