The Milkmen

Overview

The Milkmen is a short film full of action and comedy. This 15-20 min story follows Ryan Lewis, a hitman for a local drug cartel. Except this time he doesn’t get to use his usual skill of killing but the job is to bring someone in. Through fun, laughter, and action we follow Ryan as he kidnaps a handmade soap business owner, Sophie Wenston, and the wacky things that happen along the way.

The film is an entrance-level film by Te Auaha Stage and Screen acting students. We need your help to make this project the best it can be and a reality. 

The Milkmen is aimed to be shown alongside other short films in early November at the Te Auaha cinema. Everyone working on the film is donating their free time to make it a reality and piece of work to be proud of.
