When a man is found dead during the night shift at a petrol station, the down on his luck manager (Mark Hadlow) spies a chance to reduce his debts. But then a menacing figure (Jed Brophy, from The Hobbit) turns up in search of the dead man’s money. Stylishly shot — entirely on an iPhone — at a Motueka petrol station, Blue Moon is the third feature from writer/director Stef Harris, who used his years in the police as inspiration for what goes on in the wee small hours. After debuting in the Christchurch leg of the 2018 NZ International Film Festival, Blue Moon won critical praise, and awards at a number of festivals overseas.
