The Project

Find where I belong is a story set in New Zealand about Elvis, a Polynesian teenager who lives in the streets with his street father John, and his desires to leave the street life to go back to his birth island.

  • Through this story, we want to share with the audience a snippet of how homelessness is being experienced by two men from different background. Moreover, It's also a chance to remind us that homeless people are just humans, they are people like all of us who have dreams but also live with their struggles.

  • Our main inspiration comes from our writer Kahu KAIHA who has been raised by family members who experienced homelessness. He also had the chance to work closely with the homeless community on Queen Street where he came up with the character of Elvis.

 

The funds raised through this campaign will go towards:

  • Crew and cast fees
  • Food and travel costs
  • Filming gear
  • Props and costumes
