Crackheads

Film (Full Length) – 2013

R16
Restricted
It took three years of development to complete a lean and funny (if somewhat politically incorrect) shooting script and to raise the minimum amount of finance required to turn it into a motion picture. In mid 2012 ‘Crackheads’ was shot on RED, fully crewed, over four six-day weeks in 40 locations and with 44 speaking roles.
– Press release for Crackheads

– Shane (Rangi Rangitukunoa) describes P to Thomas (Preston O'Brien)
The quartet of characters is full of men failing at some aspect of their lives ... a superbly crafted self-funded movie, heavily condensed with quality humour.
– Flicks writer Liam Maguren in a four star review of Crackheads, 5 February 2014
