Geoff Murphy is a leading figure in the first wave of New Zealand directors who emerged in the 1970s. His road movie Goodbye Pork Pie was the first blockbuster hit of the Kiwi film renaissance, and he completed the triple punch with Utu and Bruno Lawrence classic The Quiet Earth. Noted for his skill at action, knockabout comedy, and melding genres, Murphy later spent a busy decade in Hollywood before returning home.
For our own sense of identity, cultural independence and feeling of nationhood we need our own voice in the form of a film industry.
– Geoff Murphy, 2003
