What a tremendous thrill for you, congratulations.

Any release details for across the ditch?

Thanks mate, really appreciate that. Yeah, they are already in talks with Rialto Distribution about Aussie. There seems to be quite the demand for it. When the trailer got posted to a Facebook page in Oz for Maori living there, it clocked up nearly 1 million views in one week! Ha ha. So here's hoping it comes your way soon!

Sorry for the radio silence, we're staying with my brother out in the country and just got internet back online.

So... we went down to Gisborne (the seaside town in NZ where we shot the movie), and stayed with my good friend Josh Calles, who plays the lead in Broken.

The day before the premier, watching TV and next minute...

So that got us pumped for the premier. The day of the premier we popped down early for a couple interviews...

Then came the premier itself. Sold out with 600 people coming out! Was an amazing night...

So the premier was a huge success and couldn't have gone any better! Super stoked and incredibly grateful to the people of Gisborne for their love and support.

Unfortunately I was pretty sick over this time and spent the next few days in bed. We figured we caught something on the plane and passed it around the fam. I got hit the worst and was knocked out pretty good.

Anyway, a week later the movie is due to be released throughout NZ. Did some more interviews, one day over a dozen radio and tv interviews. Here's one from a Maori news show (has english subtitles)...

Still wasn't sure how the movie would be received by the general public. Next minute...

That sure would be cool! But we're heading back to Canada this week as we've made the move overseas. Barely made it back for the NZ premier, not sure Aussie would be possible for us at this stage unfortunately.
