Kiwi Hunter

When the apocalypse finally came, it wasn't at all how people thought it was going to be...

Kiwi birds are sick and tired of being endangered and have decided to take over New Zealand. It’s time for all humans to pack up and leave. The thing they don’t tell you about the apocalypse is that it’s actually the perfect way out of any prior responsibilities you had. Or at least, that’s what Hunter thought. Turns out his flatmates aren’t going to let him get out of his chores so easily. Lives are on the line as flesh-hungry kiwi’s close in on their over-priced Wellington flat, but at the end of the day, Hunter still needs to take out the trash. Only this time he might die while doing it.

Ultimately, Kiwi Hunter is a gory splatter comedy about accountability, reliability, and friendship. Our crew would love your support in helping us create this apocalypse oh... we mean film.

This film is being made by Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice) students from Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington. This is the cumulative project of their year-long degree. 

WHO IS INVOLVED

Writer/director Tom Aitcheson is receiving mentorship from filmmakers Jess Charlton and Dean Hewison.

He is supported by producer Georgia Ah Kuoi, and director of photography Jack Arbuckle, as well as a number of talented creative leads from the Masters of Fine Arts cohort.

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Kiwi Hunter is going into production during November.  

We are looking for $1500 to go towards:

·   Location hire 

·   Paying cast 

·   Production design 

·      Exploding Kiwis

Making killer kiwi's isn't cheap!

We are also aiming to submit the film to other local and international festivals. 

All donors will be kept updated throughout production and get an on-screen credit.

Donations made by NZ income earners qualify for a 33% tax credit from the IRD with a receipt provided by The Arts Foundation.

Please support us in reaching our goal and share this project with your nests, flocks, gaggles or any other feathered friends or die-hard apocalypse fans.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
