Made for Montana Sunday Theatre, Dead Certs provides rare starring roles for talents Rawiri Paratene and Ginette McDonald. Paratene won a Television Award for his acting, and also co-wrote the script (with director Ian Mune), which he began writing on a Burns Fellowship. Paratene plays Hare Hohepa, whose dreams of a winning bet that will allow him to escape his down'n'out existence take an unusual turn: his friend Martha (McDonald) expires after some drinks, then returns in ghostly form to encourage him to keep betting. So begins a dream run at the TAB.

Hi Robert - We're working on getting the full length version of this film - if/when we get it, we'll let you know!
It's not for sale anywhere at this stage.

This is fantastic. Saw this when I was 14. 'Was a great little film. Better than a lot of the crap that NZ film makers have released to cinemas.
How about the whole film? Any chance? Anyone know where I can buy a copy?
Many thanks,

A full length version of that film would be awesome!
