Small Town Scandal

A disgraced journalist, who returns to his rural hometown to investigate the bizarre death of his millionaire uncle – killed, suspiciously, by an automatic lawnmower.

More Info

I’ve always loved the quirks of small-town life and getting to bring Small Town Scandal from podcast to screen with such an incredible cast like this has been a dream. A satirical take on small-town drama.

-Thomas Sainsbury

Crowded House

A lyrical, cinematic and explorative biographical journey of the band Crowded House that moves between the past, present, and a dream-like place of investigation and analysis that has Neil Finn’s uniquely melodic songwriting at its core.

More Info

I’ve always been afraid of just repeating the same formulas, and somehow this feels like a fresh and authentic way to re-approach Crowded House today with an awareness of all our history and why it began in the first place.

-Neil Finn

AROHA BRIDGE

Aroha Bridge is a New Zealand animated comedy series created, written and directed by Jessica Hansell. Celebrated for its authentic portrayal of urban Maori characters, the series blends humour and cultural insights.

More Info

We don’t need to fast-forward a decade and romanticise how the show is ahead of its time, nor should we be rushing to dissect it.

-Miriama Aoake, The Panograph Punch

Dark Tourist

A journalist from New Zealand, David Farrier, spends a year investigating dark tourism for this Netflix Original Series.

More Info

The fact that it manages to transcend its genre to explore and analyse what it actually means to travel makes for one of the most remarkable and profound travel shows ever made.
