Auckland Daze - Series One
Web (Full Length Episodes) – 2011
In season one of this comical web series, four friends try to find fame — and flames. Millen Baird, Fasitua Amosa, Jimmy James Fletcher and Glen Levy each play exaggerated versions of their real-life selves as they attempt to navigate Auckland's entertainment industry. Baird has described the cast of characters as "an angry stuntman, an alcoholic dwarf, an unfunny stand-up and a mummy's boy male model". They're aided by star-studded support — including cameos by Jennifer Ward-Lealand and at least 10 actors from Shortland Street. At the 2012 SWANZ Script Writer Awards, Baird won the award for Best Comedy Script. Read the full episode guide here.
Man, I was seriously thinking about taking her to Disneyland.– A lovesick Millen, in episode three
