Last night, we were lucky to be invited to view the crème de la crème of New Zealand short films at Sky City Theatre in this year´s New Zealand Film Festival.

Campbell Hooper´s 43,000 Feet, Zia Mandviwalla´s Night Shift (WOO HOO!!!), Sam Kelly´s Lambs, Marina McCartney´s Milk and Honey, Michelle Savill´s Ellen is Leaving and Thomas Gleeson´s Home were the stunning works. Come view each below.

The Festival is asking audiences to rank their films, in order of their top to bottom short. These six final films were themselves selected from 109 submissions by Kiwi filmmaker, Roger Donaldson. A jury of three will select the winners of the $5000 Madman Entertainment Jury Prize and the $3000 Friends of the Civic Award. The winner of the Audience vote takes away 25% of the box office from the Festival screening.

So head to your nearest screening and vote today!

Sorry, the manatee doesn’t come for free from the IRD. It´s a Monday and we needed something to cheer us up.

Today, we attended one of many free (YES, you read right) free workshops on introduction to business, how to register for GST, what to do when you become an employer and for those self-employed folk out there, how to fill out a IR3 form.

Each session lasts about three hours long. We had Saam, who was a legend.

They are run weekly and you need to book online here.

Knock yourself out!

On a wintery day like today, we like nothing better than to head to a fantastic exhibition, curated by Jeremy Leatinu´u, titled, This must be the place.

Here Jeremy talks us through the work made by Pilimi Manu, which greets you in Gallery One of ST PAUL St Gallery.

Check out more photos here of this articulate, playful and humourous show. It opens tomorrow, with a special session this Saturday morning at 9am in the gallery with the artists crit and then later at 1pm, hearing Jeremy and the artists talk.

Check out Louise, our director below and Vela, director of Kila Kokonut Krew giving the show the thumbs up.

Please come along and be immersed in this work. You won´t regret it.
