About

Shopping is the debut feature from childhood friends Mark Albiston and Louis Sutherland, who won acclaim for their short films. The 80s-set drama follows a half-Samoan teen on the Kāpiti Coast (Kevin Paulo), who is seduced into a world of petty crime. Adrift in muscle cars and boozy parties, he finds stirrings of love, and escape from a volatile Pākehā dad. Little brother Solomon (Hunt for the Wilderpeople's Julian Dennison, in his film debut) must fend for himself. Selected for the Berlin and Sundance Film Festivals, Shopping won big, including a prize at Berlin and local awards for Best Film, Director and Screenplay.
