There are three 25-minute documentary-style films in total - they're the final product of two years intensive learning/filmmaking for our masters course at Otago Uni... each film is very professional, unique, entertaining, and educational - a bio of each follows below.

One of the films in particular, 'Carving the Future' has ties to Raglan through one of the characters - Te Rawhitiroa Bosch, and that a small part of the soundtrack is by Cornerstone Roots... The film is about young New Zealander's leading inspirational 'regenerative' projects across Aotearoa - from Whangarei - to the West Coast - to Dunedin...

Carving the Future | Nick Holmes & Guy Ryan

You are one person! And you don't stand alone...

Grassroots, youth driven community action provided the inspiration for this film. Experience a vision of vibrant future communities through the eyes of three passionate young New Zealanders as they lead projects driving positive social change in their regions. What might a 350 future look like? How do we get there? An inspirational account of how one person can make a difference.

Albatrocity | Iain Frengley & Edward Saltau

Why look'st thou so? With my cross-bow

I shot the Albatross.

A dramatic tale about the Albatross, king of the sea, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner forms the backbone of this story. Stunning sub Antarctic footage of this beautiful bird is woven with the harsh realities of the impact of commercial fishing, in a film that features some of the most innovative visual effects used in modern day documentary.

Plato’s Cave | J. Ollie Lucks

If only I could make you see, …

the beauty of chemistry.

Auteur director Ollie Lucks takes you on a journey into our stone-age wired brains having to cope in an information-age and how this may affect our perception of risk. Plato’s Cave is the most daring of the films, merging real interviews with feature film aesthetics and stunning time-lapse photography. It centers around Beth Hannings, a chemist in her quest to receive research funding to investigate climate change solutions.
