Co-written with artist Richard DeDomenici, this short film was made as part of 48 Hours NZ, a fast film-making competition in New Zealand
48Hours is NZ’s largest guerrilla filmmaking competition. Filmmakers have just one weekend to make a short film.

Filmmakers don’t know what genre (thriller/romance etc.) they will be shooting until the start of the competition. All creativity: writing, shooting, editing and adding a soundtrack, must occur within the 48Hour window beginning Friday evening at 7 pm and ending Sunday at 7 pm. To add to the mayhem, they must also include some random elements.
The best films are selected by judges to compete in the city finals. Then the judges select the best of the best and along with Peter Jackson’s Wildcards, compete in a massive Grand Final offering fabulous prizes and glory.
48Hours is a serious challenge for both first-time filmmakers through to experienced directors.
