The Wifi Project

2020 Short film
  • Comedy
  • Horror

This two-hander from writer/actor Rosie Howells (Wellington Paranormal) and filmmaker Baz Macdonald explores our addiction to being plugged in. Howells plays a woman who is ready to record a new cooking video for her channel — only technology isn't playing ball. Trouble is the old technology just doesn't cut it anymore. While killing time waiting for her internet company to fix the glitch, she drifts into a worrying existential crisis. The Wifi Project was a national finalist in the 2020 48Hours competition; Howells and MacDonald were named Best Solo or Duo Team. Howells is also a part of the NZ On Screen team.
