E Tipu E Rea - Thunderbox

I was a very small part in the cast and was overawed by the awesome talent on this short film, both in terms of cast and crew
Not sure where to buy it but it was amazing

I remember this film (the whole series actually) as being the best working experience I've had, as a crew member, than any other production.

Many of the crew were trainees (interns from He Taonga i Tawhiti film training) and even though we lacked the grounding of seasoned technicians, we made up for it with passion and a sense of togetherness.

I guess you could say we all shared the same vision and worked with pride to be producing NZ's first Maori television series, crewed predominantly by Maori.

If you asked the janitor at NASA, back in the '60's what his vision was, he would've replied "getting to the moon". So in remembrance of the great Don Selwyn who managed to Train, Employ, Produce, Manage and Nurture a generation of Maori film makers... a huge thumbs up to you... I believe you changed the history of NZ film making for the better.
