SUMMARY:This Bites\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:THIS BITES is a 5 episodes comedy webseries\, starring comedy icons Thomas Sainsbury\, Chris Parker and Lara Fischel-Chisholm\, plus other brilliant guest actors. \nAll 5 episodes were produced and directed by Roberto Nascimento\, director of award winning series Sui Generis. \nThe show was created and written by US/NZ writer Louis Mendiola\, winner of a NZTV Award for his writing on season 2 of local comedy The Adventures of Suzy Boon. \nWe are raising additional funds to cover the post production elements of the show – specifically SOUND DESIGN and our COLOUR GRADE. We just need 2k to get us there\, as I made some fantastic deals with sound legend Luana Barnes (she worked on Dune 2!!!) and colour grade master James Elliston. \nThis project is silly\, fun\, poignant and will hopefully bring some joy to those who watch it and we get to see an incredible mix of kiwi talent doing what they do best in front of and behind the cameras. Their work deserves to be seen and we can achieve this with your help.\nFriendship. Love. Family.

SUMMARY:By the Skin of Her Teeth\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:A 25-minute film centered around two female politicians\, leading rival parties\, as they await the results of the New Zealand election. To pass the time\, they reflect on their competitiveness\, sacrifices made\, and backlash they faced leading up to the day. One is younger and more optimistic – often getting criticized for her lack of experience and grit\, and the other is older and stauncher – often getting criticized for being past her use-by date\, and too aggressive. \nThis film is a love letter to Kiwi women in politics\, and explores the lengths they’re pushed to go\, as they navigate their way through a male-dominated profession.
