Overview
Our Film:
What Matters Most is a 6-8 minute short drama film that tells a story of an 18 year old girl Whaikaha, a young talented rugby player who is faced with a choice. Whaikaha had a strict family upbringing and now has the additional pressure from her school rugby coach. These high expectations surrounding her sporting career brings Whaikaha into a position of confusion about her future. However, when Whaikaha discovers a love for something new she must decide whether to put her happiness first above the people she loves.
