Roger Donaldson is notable for spearheading the Kiwi film renaissance with Sleeping Dogs (1977). Based in Hollywood since the early 1980s, his first homemade film since the acclaimed Smash Palace (1981) was Burt Munro biopic The World’s Fastest Indian - the most successful NZ film at the local box office until the arrival of Boy in 2010.
Any lucky chances I got came from working 80 hours a week
