About
In comedy-drama Workmates, Lucy (Sophie Henderson) and Tom (Matt Whelan) battle to keep their struggling theatre alive — and their friendship platonic. Shot in Auckland with many recognisable locations, the film also features Milo Cawthorne (Deathgasm) and Chris Parker (Golden Boy). Sophie Henderson wrote the script; her husband Curtis Vowell directs. They previously took the same roles on movies Fantail (which starred Henderson) and Baby Done. The story was inspired by Henderson's time working at Auckland's Basement Theatre. The film debuted at the 2025 Whānau Mārama New Zealand International Film Festival.
