In mid-1982 soul/ska band The Neighbours, a film crew and various mates and roadies arrived at the legendary Hilton Hotel in Blackball, to shoot a short film doubling as a music video for three songs on their EP The Only One You Need. Director Gaylene Preston volunteered her services, and Reefton local Alun Bollinger stepped in to shoot it. On the lead single, the band play a hapless group of robbers, evading a bumbling cop (Rick Bryant) via the charms of vocalist Trudi Green. On 'First Love' Green is a vengeful waitress; for the final song she's back on the run with her gang, as the slapstick tale comes full circle.
