In this award-winning short film, a young mother shields the stresses of her study, finances and relationships from her daughter, in an effort to ensure she only experiences the fun and whimsy of life. Writer, director and star Aidee Walker is probably best known for her work as an actor, with roles in Outrageous Fortune and How to Meet Girls from a Distance. But her career also involves directing, including a stint on TV show Westside. Friday Tigers won both the Jury Prize and Audience Favourite Award at the 2013 NZ International Film Festival, where the judges praised its acting, whimsy and surprising ending.
