Flicks To Fix Christchurch

Hi folks,
Hope you're all well.
I've a bit to get through, so please excuse me if I launch straight into it.

FLICKS TO FIX CHRISTCHURCH

As you all know , Christchurch has been devastated.
Hundreds are out of jobs , homes , normal way of life.

I know everyone has been super supportive to our Cantabrian friends already and I am loath to ask
folks to dip their hand in their pocket again , but - boy , do they need all the help they can get.

So here's what I've organized.

On Friday the 8th of April at approx 8pm , Wanaka Film Trust , with the kind help of the Paradiso cinema, will have a movie night.
We have a great line up of movies to entertain you for a few hours.

U.S. filmmaker Ari Gold , has given me permission to screen his funny and sweet , award winning ,air drumming comedy , 
Adventures Of Power starring Ari Gold himself , Adrian Grenier (star of Entourage), Mike McKean (David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap amongst many many other great things),
Jane Lynch (Glee) and a host of other great people.








Opening act GOOD GIRL

Another sneak peak at a still from my new #shortfilm called #... on TwitpicGood Girl  is a short film I shot in Feb of this year.
Written , shot and edited etc in Wanaka in a week, with local actresses Hannah Steven & Charlotte Gardiner . 
This film has been directly affected by the Feb 22nd quake as Carmel Courtney who was writing and recording the musical score for the film lives in London Street in Lyttelton 
and who hasn't been able to finish the score yet due to access to her studio etc being affected by the damage.
This version has a temporary score for this screening.











Support films THE OTHER MARTY and ATTACKMEN



The Other Marty is a hilarious black comedy made by Ian Lawton , an old friend of mine from Ireland.
Ian spent some time in Christchurch about 10 years ago and when he heard what had happened there , he jumped at the chance to do anything he could to help out a city that he holds dear.
Ian is currently at work writing his first feature film.








The Attackmen is a 2007 short film from Wanaka based ,American director and Wanaka Film Trust pal Topher Straus .
A slick looking film looking at two high school seniors from different religious traditions who come to realize, as a life-changing game nears, that their parents' values aren't the same as their own.

Entry to Flicks To Fix ChCH is by donation - 
In order to do the best we can to raise the much needed cash for Chch - we are recommending a suggested minimum donation of $15
Of course, you may donate more if you can!

100% of entry donation will go to Christchurch Earthquake Appeal - ( Paradiso have been kind enough to offer to host at no cost!)

So, come to the movies on Friday 8th of April - For the price of 1 normal movie ticket , you get to see 45ish mins of short film and a 90 min feature film!!!


Oh, and if you want to ask any of the filmmaker any questions and have them answer them on the big screen , on Friday - email me those questions NOW! ( wanakafilm @ gmail . com )
