This Town

Film (Trailer) – 2020

She's bonkers, completely her own woman, very serious, obsessed, bull-headed and so much fun.
– Actor Robyn Malcolm on Pam, her character in This Town

For a comedy with a mass murder at its centre, This Town is a surprisingly gentle and kind-hearted tale ... This Town has got acting fire-power the producers of some far better-resourced local films would have killed for ... clever, likeable, well-written and played, and occasionally inspired ... In a year in which buying local matters more than ever, I reckon you'll be happy you bought into it.
– Stuff reviewer Graeme Tuckett, 6 August 2020

This Town was a labour of love, inspired by a friend and a drive through the roads of Hawke's Bay...
– Writer/director David White

...there’s a bone-deep understanding of how truly funny and sweet and difficult the rural side of our nation is, in so many small ways ... This Town is a frustratingly problematic, clever, gloriously sly and darkly quirky little work of art and I would recommend it to everyone. See you at the cinema, New Zealand.
