The Project

I want to say a huge thank you from Juliette and Cameron. We are so proud of the campaign and the support you have given us. Without you, this literally would not have been possible. We are stoked with the results and the journey has been so much fun!

Thank you to the Boosted family behind the scenes for providing us with this amazing platform and for giving us this opportunity to get our creative ideas out into the industry. We are so excited to make this film a reality and can't wait to share it with everyone.

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.
