The Impeccable Larry Woods

Meet the multimillionaire who became a shoeshine man spreading cheer throughout the streets of Auckland. What provoked this transformation? The Impeccable Larry Woods  reveals that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Never in a million years did Larry Woods believe he'd become a shoeshine man. In the 1980s, the flamboyant businessman was corporate royalty in Auckland. His extravagant, self-indulgent exploits even made tabloid fodder.

In 2016, the street corners Larry occupies are not only venues to peddle shoeshines and patter, but where interactions with passers-by become a celebration of humanity.

This is the story of one man's realisation for change and the pivotal moment that led him there.

In making this film, we hope to shine light on Larry's personal journey and also challenge our audience to consider their own attitudes and behaviour - what is the creed that you live by?

The Impeccable Larry Woods is an entertaining, thought-provoking and inspiring tale of the human condition that proves kindness is contagious and that all of us have the capacity to change.

We are very excited to be selected for Loading Docs 2016 and to have such an acclaimed platform to tell Larry's story and showcase our filmmaking abilities.

If we can reach our target of $2,000, Loading Docs will kindly match this total dollar for dollar.

Help us raise more than our target and we could have the opportunity to produce something truly epic - to shoot a very ambitious sequence in a special location with a very expensive prop. So please continue to donate!
