Project Updates

Principal Photography Complete!

Kia ora all, 

We're coming to you with a very exciting update - Daisy May Hate You has officially wrapped our principal photography period! After a whopping 12 shoot days, we have got the bulk of our content, and Zoe is already starting to look through footage for the edit! 💜🎬💫

Unfortunately, Cycle Vaianu did cause us to postpone two of our shoot days, but we'll be picking those up later in the year when everyone is available again 😇

We wanted to give you a sneak peek of our BIGGEST set day yet - shooting in the fantastic Unitec film studio, we had both our main mockumentary team filming, and then also an additional camera team to film the "Kill The Princess" movie that the characters are making in the series. We had over 30 cast and crew on set this day, and it looked absolutely amazing! 😎‼️🏳️‍🌈

WOW✨️🩷😇

We've officially made our Boosted target! 💫

A thousand million thank yous from our team to every single one of you for your donations and incredible generosity. 🌸

Your belief in this little project has been so appreciated, and we cannot wait to finish filming and show you what we've been working on! 🎬

We'll continue to chuck our big updates on Boosted for you, but if you want to follow our progress more closely, make sure you follow our instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daisymayhateyou/ (it's filled with some really cool photos and videos, we promise you'll like it) 😎🥰🌈
