premiere reveal
Kia ora koutou!
It's all bloody happening all at once. The Weed Eaters has been accepted into the New Zealand International Film Festival and will be premiering in Tāmaki Makaurau this August. Absolutely unreal. If you're keen to come along, make sure you snag yourself an NZIFF multi-pass, as this gives you earlybird access to pre-sales from July 8th. We're busy planning a very special premiere - would love to see you all there :) There'll be screenings in other cities too, more info coming in the not-so-distant future x
While we party plan and pinch ourselves, we're also applying to other festivals and will be sharing news if and when we can about international screenings. Would be incredible to take this project to the rest of the world thanks to all of your support. We literally could not have made this movie without the help of every single one of you.
Get your multi-passes here, and marvel at the glory of The Weed Eaters NZIFF landing page here. Oh, and shout out Kate Rodger for the mention in her latest substack. Talk soon xoxox
"Kicking things off is The Weed Eaters, a horror-comedy with bite. A mysterious strain of weed turns a group of stoner mates into reluctant cannibals, and things unravel fast. Shot on a shoestring and powered by pure creativity, it’s chaotic, clever and destined to gain cult status. NZIFF Artistic Director Paolo Bertolin calls it a “positively crazy finding”, and one of the “must-see thrills” of this year’s festival. "
