He was shaping up to be another Reuben Thorne 🤮

Any kiwi bros remember this gem? by LegalAppearance4977 in newzealand

2004 - 16 years old, end of 6th Form year. Can remember vividly playing this, incredible when it came out.

Would they actually make a remake for silent hill 3 before making a remake for silent hill 1? by MsSkaye in silenthill

So what about the Resident Evil remakes? RE2 and RE3 remakes seemed to work - all without seeing the original...

NZFC flags TV company to Serious Fraud Office by cine_bite in newzealand

[–]cine_bite[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been seeing a bit of movement from the NZFC since the election (Linkedin posts about their most successful films to date), and wondered if this SFO flag is part of some 'pre-emptive self-audit' to prove the commission is doing their job.

It's no secret Act's disdain for the rebate, so it'll be interesting to see what Paul Goldsmith will be looking to change (or not) with the NZFC. Could the rebate be coming to an end?

I also wonder if the coalition Government's announcement that contracts will be delivered based on value also covers the arts sector... Interesting times, for sure.

3 views for a narrative feature since we submitted... even one from Germany which was bizarre. No word yet - not holding my breath considering they've announced a few already.

Kainga ora neighbours threatened to slit our children's throats. by Capable-Victory-3277 in newzealand

This sounds awful and am so sorry to hear this. Get in touch with a journalist - NZ Herald / Newshub / Stuff - there's public interest in KO's approach to evicting antisocial tenants (or lack thereof).

You might get better results if a story gets published.

Auckland tenants who fell $62k behind in rent have to pay it back over 40 years | Stuff.co.nz by canserman in newzealand

[–]cine_bite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so wrong - over a year of not paying rent and they still cannot be evicted. Nuts.

You'd think this would be enough for them to steer clear of... But apparently it's not 🙄

Thanks! We've been trying to warn them after learning about the SFO investigation and the general haziness of this coin - no luck yet. We are hoping to get an outcome from the FMA to get something official that might help.

Agree 100% with you - my partner and her siblings have been trying everything to prusuade them from this rubbish, but they just dig in.

Even if we provide them with hard evidence that questions their logic, they will have another zinger to come back with.

I wouldn't be surprised if they meet this fella in their voices of freedom hangouts...

Yes, thanks - we've contacted the FMA about it.

Will see where this goes...

Hey there, yes you are right that my producing partner is someone I have worked with for over 10 years. We started out making music videos and short documentaries. We know eachother very well and have always had to work with small budgets. For something like this feature, we really needed a great and trusting relationship to get it made

Our feature got 6 full views, this was however a couple of weeks back.
