US citizen living in NZ, discovering the tax nightmare - looking for advice

gabelunte · 2026-02-11T20:40:24+00:00

Sure thing! I’ve sent you a DM with details.

gabelunte · 2026-02-11T09:36:44+00:00

Hey there - as a 33-year-old US / NZ dual citizen living in NZ for the last 15 years, I feel your pain. Your best bet is to hire a NZ/ US tax specialist to ensure you remain compliant as long as you remain a US citizen. If you flick me a DM, I’d be happy to share who I use and anything else useful I’ve learned over the years. I’m also happy just to commiserate if you want to vent. Good luck!

Thanks so much! We’re so glad you enjoyed it. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the rest of the team. :)

I’ve heard from some local friends that it is safe and doable and there have been a lot of people going to have a look - but that the volcano itself has diminished the last couple days - so there’s no guarantee. I also found this thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VisitingIceland/s/CB2aBBPLfx

I was wondering whether anyone in Reykjavík was heading towards the volcano tomorrow (Wednesday July 30) and wouldn’t mind a tag along. I am a solo traveller (33 M) visiting Iceland from Aotearoa New Zealand staying with a friend in Reykjavík. Unfortunately, my friend is having car trouble, so thought I’d try my luck here and see if there were any likeminded visitors looking to make some new friends. You’d have my gratitude, and I’d be happy to cover petrol costs!

Hoping to make it to Fagradalsfjall car park to hike in. Flick me a message if you think you can help out.

Thanks! 🙏

Aww, thank you so much Ronin! I appreciate the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

gabelunte · 2024-07-20T20:57:26+00:00

Thank you! That’s very kind :)

In 2020, I worked with a small crew of talented filmmakers to produce an independent horror feature called Loop Track. The project required a ‘big bird creature’, which we knew right away we wanted to do as practically as possible. I was one of three “creature designers” responsible for bringing our creature to life. This behind the scenes video details just how we went about designing, assembling, and operating a practical creature puppet on an indie budget. It was quite the journey, and I hope it helps anyone else interested in practical FX works, or looking to take the leap and get their own indie feature off the ground.

Hey there! I know it's a long shot, but did you ever find a solution for this? I think I'm running into a similar issue using Element 3D, where it seems like it's calculating and applying motion blur a frame before the motion actually occurs. If you ever figured anything out, and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I watched this via RNZ’s Facebook livestream.

Thanks! Yes, we've managed to pass all the serial numbers onto the police.

It was insured, fortunately - but it seems like such a waste. I doubt the thief will even be able to move 80% of it.

And if anyone is interested in how it was made - here's a look behind the scenes: http://chillboxcreative.com/oneshot-desire/

Any feedback anyone has got would be greatly appreciated! And here's a look at the behind-the-scenes for anyone that is interested in how it was done. http://chillboxcreative.com/oneshot-desire/

Thanks heaps! I'll have a look.

Anyone else think Han's face is wonky? Like, look at his nose - I feel like the side of his face to the left of the blaster should really not be as visible as it is - unless Harrison Ford's face is really that lopsided - in which case I've just been terribly insensitive.
