Tangata Whenua, A State of Siege, Utu, Smash Palace, The Quiet Earth, Illustrious Energy ... The resume of soundman-turned-producer Don Reynolds covers the modern renaissance of New Zealand film.
The Quiet Earth works because we have tried for something unique. Nobody can make the standard shoot ‘em up car chase films, with four good leads, better than the Americans. We had to be original with excellence.
– Don Reynolds, on science fiction movie The Quiet Earth
