He Tangata

This kaupapa is a love letter to the city of Te Whanganui-A-Tara Wellington. A short film that showcases our stunning capital in all its ugly, wacky glory. On our main character Piri’s final night in Wellington, he must decide: is he one bad day away from leaving? Or one good night away from staying?

Over one night, we follow him on an odyssey-like journey through the city. This short film has music, dancing, homoerotic male friendships, and even a fist fight! The question is asked, after endless business closures, public service cuts, and weather emergencies, can Wellington live on?

Our kaupapa says yes. Our team, our project, asserts that you can never kill a place like Wellington. We are a city sustained through the audacity of our people

He aha te mea nui o te ao?

He Tāngata! He Tāngata! He Tāngata!

 He karanga tēnei nā te tīma o 'He Tāngata' ki te marea whānui – kia tū, kia tautoko mai kia eke tātou ki te pae mutunga!
