Synopsis

This documentary follows veteran film and TV actor and director Ian Mune as he works with graduates of the NZ Drama School to write and shoot a 15 minute film in just two days. Many of the actors (who include David Fane, Bronwyn Bradley and Lucy Schmidt) have little experience acting for the camera; and Mune passes on lessons learned in a distinguished career that started long before such tuition was available. Rush Hour, the resulting film — shot at Wellington Railway Station — is included in its entirety in this fascinating insight into a creative process.

Quotes

In the end, hitting marks and modulating your voice to a pitch ... it’s just technical stuff, you can learn it. Anyone can do it. An actor gets very good at it very quickly. What is difficult [to do] is to bring along the sense that at any time they could do anything at all.
