There once was a movie called BOY
That I know you will really enjoy!
It’s classic, comic, creative and fun
And needs to be seen by everyone It’s a story about a boy and his dreams,
Expectations, potential and dad so it seems.
It’s coming of age, it’s fresh, it’s real
And heart warming to, I’m sure you will feel So reach for your wallets, pledge a dollar or more
To see it hit the States with an almighty ROAR

“Yes, he’s in the same cell block as my dad”
“Not anymore, he escaped”
“How?”
“He dug a hole underneath the fence”
“With what?”
“A spoon”

Peter Calder of The New Zealand Herald gave the film five out of five stars, he praised the performances by the three main actors and said “it’s hard to praise too highly the pitch-perfect tone of this movie.

“We all have the ability to be anything and everything; good and bad, cruel and compassionate. Finding the right balance is what makes characters compelling. I never like the idea of creating characters for the objective pleasure of the audience. I want people to see themselves in these characters, to relate in a personal way, to say, “I just watched myself go through all of that”. In this film we are watching ourselves growing up.”

There were the usual melt downs you’d expect with working with kids but when you think of the performances they’re giving you, when you realise they’re saving your movie simply by being in it,
then you forget the sulking and demands for sugar – you just smile and say…”thank you brats…thank you.

zMaori kids don’t get many opportunities like this and to find a pair of boys so different and so engaging as actors filled me with awe and pride.

I think that’s what makes my films different, the feeling that although there is
often darkness, there are also little bits of light to encourage hope and hold on
to possibility

I’m American and I LOVE Boy, have seen it three times at different festivals. Taika is my hero. I think Two Cars, One Night is also genius. Not to mention Eagle Vs Shark. Can’t wait to see what he does next!
