The Bellbirds. Chapter6 of our Doco. [Auckland]

We had a good day's shoot just off Dominion Rd [which is my hood], but at 'the Don' McGlashan's whare. We interviewed his new band the Bellbirds, which is made up of Sandy Mill [singer], Victoria Kelly [well known film composer] & SJD, Sean John Donnelly, who Im a fan of his solo albums, which I find very cinematic & often screenwrite to. It was a good day's shoot, under the howling winter rain, but with a song that brought us both goosebumps & warmth.

Kotuku Choir. Chapter2 of our Doco. [Wellywood]

Last weekend we filmed in one of my childhood suburbs in rainy Karori, Wellytown to meet a powerful & moving youth choir. Sharon Thorburn founded the Kotuku Choir, to give a diverse mix of teens somewhere to come to write, sing & express themselves in any way they chose to. The result is a multi cultural collective of remarkable & talented youths so blew us away as a crew. They sang like angels with big hearts in the rain. Kia Ora, Fa'a fe tai & thanks to them all for their open minds & open arms.
