Synopsis

“If this tale is about anything it’s about two words: Kiwi actor.” In this assured, at times offbeat documentary, Kiwi screen legend Ian Mune takes us on a personal tour through his various lives as actor, director, teacher and more. He revisits early theatrical stomping grounds, and talks about how acting alongside Sam Neill in Sleeping Dogs taught him “to stop pulling faces”. Mune also reminisces about his work as a director of movies comical, terrible and ambitious. Included is rare footage of Mune in 70s dramas Derek and Moynihan.
