Feature length Samoan film, “Liliu Le Taimi”

Samoa was great. But it wasn't just lounging in the sun and drinking cocktails by the beach -- I got some great footage for the film while I was back at home!

Here's a screenshot from a filming session back on island.

One of the great things about filming stuff back at home is that it gives our project real production value (people be thinking, "Whoa! They flew their crew to Samoa to film!") and sort of builds that connection between Auckland and Samoa that our narrative tries to do. Yet I was in Samoa for something totally different, but ended up revising script to include a few hopefully great scenes from Samoa that'll give our film narrative the extra boost it needs to make it... well, convincing.

Anyway, the next few weeks will be busy, but we'll keep you updated on our progress as we go along! Stay tuned!
