Andrew Bancroft

Two of Andrew Bancroft’s early shorts won awards — the noirish Planet Man was the first NZ short to win Critic's Week at Cannes Film Festival. Aside from his own shorts and television work, Bancroft has also helped develop a successful slate of short films for others.

There’s a quote from Robert Bresson I have on my wall: “Only the knots which tie and untie inside the characters give the film its movement, its true movement”.
