Apologies for the lack of updates, university work seems to have taken over my life for the past month...anyway...expect more additions to the site in the next two weeks now that I am on mid-trimester break! And as a side note, my third short film (or at least a shortened version of it) is doing the University Film Competition circuit in September/October. It's called LIKE, TOTALLY and is a mockumentary on a NZ boyband. Check out my film site #1
