Stuart McKenzie

Director/playwright Stuart McKenzie won a best NZ short film award with 1991's The Mouth and the Truth, made with Neil Pardington. They followed it with Snap, which won selection to Clermont-Ferrand in France. McKenzie made his feature debut in 2003 with drama For Good. The film was born from real-life interviews with prisoners and victim's families. McKenzie went on to direct fly-on-the-wall acting school series Tough Act.

I really feel like this was a group effort ... a community effort. It came out of a community of people who had shared some of their experiences with us.
