Screenography
Biography
Plan 9 comprises a trio of musicians who have shown it's possible to spend decades collaborating on movie and television music, without leaving a trail of blood on the floor.
Steve Roche first formed Plan 9 in the early 90s, alongside fellow Wellington musicians David Donaldson and Janet Roddick. The name was inspired by famously shlocky 50s movie Plan Nine from Outer Space. Thankfully mercifully few such titles have made it onto Plan 9's CV, which encompasses roughly 20 features, a number of shows for powerhouse company NHNZ, and a long line of shorts.

Best Original Music – Feature Film: for Predicament
“I've always enjoyed the collective aspect of playing music in a group and I feel very fortunate to have such admirable collaborators in Janet and David. I think it's a case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.”
