»In 1986, a 30-year-old itinerant teacher from New Zealand - Peter O'Brian - is travelling through Jakarta, Indonesia, on his Big OE when he is mistaken in the street for Sylvester Stallone by a film producer. When offered the role of Alex Rambu in 'The Intruder' - the Indonesian rip-off of Rambo - Peter is catapulted to fame.« – [boosted.org.nz]

Genom att ha klockat in på 153% (i skrivande stund) i donationer så lär vi med tillförsikt kunna se fram emot den här dokumentären. Den lär f.ö. bli ett fint komplement till klassiker som Not Quite Hollywood, Machete Maidens Unleashed!, Electric Boogaloo och Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau.

Läser på Boosted (där man har crowdfunding kampanjen) att man bland annat kommer använda extra pengarna för att ge dokumentären en VHS-liknande stil. Väldigt kul och intressant.

He Kākano Ahau- From The Spaces In Between (2017) directed by Kathleen Winter

He Kākano Ahau- From The Spaces In Between (Winter 2017) accompanies Kassie Hartendorp and her takatāpui community group in the lead up to the Wellington Pride festival.

As an māori LGBT activist, Kassie struggles with the lack of representation the māori LGBT community receive s during Wellington’s Pride festival. She discusses that for takatāpui, Maori who have diverse genders and sexualities, they live in between the narrow spaces.  

When offered to perform a waiata (songs) at Pride Wellington, Kassie feels that the invitation in only there to fill a quota.

He Kākano Ahau- From The Spaces In Between was one of ten short-documentary proposals made as Loading Docs in 2017.

The documentary’s director, Kathleen Winter is a Wellington based filmmaker who has been making short documentaries since 2014. Winter is currently working on her first feature length documentary which will investigate woman working minimum-waged jobs in New Zealand (Loading Docs).
