Michael Bennett's Cow was invited to the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. The award-winning no-dialogue short film revolves around two men and a cow, lost at sea. Bennett followed it with Māori rite-of-passage tale Kerosene Creek. He has also written the feature Jubilee, starring Cliff Curtis, and directed episodes of Outrageous Fortune and mock-doco The Pretender. Bennett has a number of features in development.
I hope I’m still making short films when I’m 80.
