Crocodile - Events

A few years ago my beautiful mum was knitting a jumper for me. Dad would deliver the updates. "She's building that cobweb for you still", as he walked the phone to where she worked the needles. I could imagine her sitting, with the fine multicoloured wool I'd chosen, the view of te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa at Ōhope for her gaze to drop on as she probably cursed my choice of wool, building the cobweb that would eventually become my jumper.

Oh how I call on my mother's talents in this film cobweb we are currently building. And just like the jumper, it's an extraordinary weave - of life, of culture, of the hope and sometimes despair of these young, of the unbelievable creative minds I get to dive into in this film, of a place so far away from me now but always so close. CROCODILE.

A wee update - we have now been editing for majority of the year, working through the hundreds of hours of footage gathered. We have over 140 scenes cut and are beginning to workshop the knitting of the three main characters and their storylines, and how their short scifi films reflect their lives in this coming-of-age epic.

Your support earlier this year empowered us onwards to get to this stage. And we are eternally grateful.

Enjoy the first dive into the sea or lake or awa on your holiday. And may you find unexpectedly beautiful moments of colour co-ordination like Big Rachael here as she contemplates directing her first film.
