Always impressed when someone manages to finish a feature – no matter what it takes or how long. #TigerMom (starring @kenjeong and my old flame @lochlynmunro 😉 was the most fun I’ve had acting in a film. It was a passion project and labour of love for the writers and director. Here’s to getting it done- last ADR today. Go #ShawnChou and @michellekrusiec ! 🎥❤️🥂 #Shoshanna #FromRussiaWithLove
I find that a little alpaca love helps enormously with filmmaking stress. #director #writer #filmmaker #holydaysmovie #alpacalove #notallama #notallamabutcloseenough
And that’s A WRAP on Holy Days! This film is in the can!! The story of a boy in search of his mum and the raucous nuns who get him there – that started nearly eleven years ago, when I first adapted the book. What a wild and joyful roller coaster ride it’s been. Pictured here, at our wrap party, is Elijah Tamati (and a random friendly cat) who you will meet soon. The boy not the cat. He did a wonderful job, along with three incredible, seasoned film stars; Miriam Margolyes, Judy Davis and Jacki Weaver. I look forward to sharing this film, my debut feature, with you. It’s into the edit now and lots and lots of time spent looking at the beautiful faces I spent the last 2 months directing, whilst working with the unbelievably dedicated and tenacious souls who helped make the film possible. Grateful doesn’t begin to describe it. 🙏🏽❤️ 🏔️ #HolyDaysMovie #writer #director #filmmaker

I played another haughty baddie on a thing last year. It was fun cos I got to push a car off a cliff in Queenstown. It went much further than we all expected. I must be very strong. #RemarkablePlaceToDie #TheRemarkables #NewZealand #WasteofanAudi #ByeBye
Playing with our LED walls on the #HolyDaysMovje shoot. Crazy intense, but nailed a HUGE amount of material – what a WIN for our tight schedule- and script supervisor @sandra.dryden got the Talent To Watch award for Roller Boogie 😉 🏆 ⭐️ 💃🏻 #makingmovies #writer #director #scriptsupervisor #canterburyuniversity #LEDvolume #virtualproduction #filmmaker #femalefilmmaker #action #comedy @natbolttdirector @fireflyfilmsnz @telefilm_canada @nzfilm @creativebcs @canterburynz
Small town New Zealand meant lots of fascination from the locals when shooting #HolyDaysMovie.
This is my editing set up. I walk three hours a day, sit for two. I eat a LOT of popcorn and let’s be honest, it’s all about the outfit. My editor is across the world. Thank you Covid for making remote editing easy. #HolyDaysMovie #writerdirector #walker
