Granda
Short Film (Full Length) – 2010
Let me get a good look at you.– Granda (grandfather) is excited to meet his grandson
Granda is a modern day adaptation of my own childhood experience meeting my Samoan granda for the first time. He spoke little English, I spoke little Samoan. Yet through his patience and humour he was able to easily form a bond with his afakase grandchildren.– Writer/director Marina Alofagia McCartney on Granda, Manukau Courier, 30 March 2010
