The Candle Wasters

The Candle Wasters were four young women (and a token dude) from New Zealand, who created fierce, funny, feminist web series from 2013 to 2018 ✨

Kia ora koutou,

After 4 years of being on hiatus we wanted to officially acknowledge that our filmmaking collective has disbanded.

We are so proud of all the work we made, and we loved sharing it with you all. Your gifs, analysis, letters, writing, art, and comments made us feel so lucky. Creating these stories was such a special time in our lives and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. We could not have made our 5 webseries in 5 years without your awhi, love, and support. We will be forever grateful for the support of our Kickstarters which allowed us to continue making series, and never forget our fandles or flamangoes.

While as a collective we have gone our separate ways, we are all continuing to be creative folks and if you follow our various social media you will see what we get up to next.

We will continue to post as The Candle Wasters from time to time — NMTD turns 10 next year and we’ll be sure to acknowledge that!

Finally, we are releasing several videos from our YouTube Drafts as part of the final updates to the Kickstarters for Lovely Little Losers and Bright Summer Night. You will see these on your feed. After that, we will not be releasing any further original content on YouTube as The Candle Wasters, though there will be other updates from us as individuals from time to time. For more details on the Kickstarter, please see the Final Updates on each Kickstarter.

Thank you all for joining us on this journey! 

Lots of love, ngā mihi, Claris, Elsie, Minnie, Robbie, and Sally EDIT: What's NMTDaily? CLICK HERE FOR INFO

My heart will ship Bean

Tuesday nights on youtube I watch you, I feel you That is how I know I ship Bean

Far in New Zealand And oceans between us You have made your candle waste gleam

Near, far, in the tag’s where we are  I can’t believe that they’re only eighteen It’s absurd Who knows whose password I’m giffing them in my heart  And my heart reaches past this screen  Flamangos can defend Hero But she’ll be her own hero And never let go till she’s seen  Flamangos can keep a vigil Till Hero’s not sick we’ll Wait for that clip on the green

Near, far, shipping Pedrazar This show is like nothing I’ve ever seen An Ode It must be a code I’m giffing them in my heart And my heart reaches past this screen The Watch is here, there’s nothing I fear Interrogation will go un-selfie’n  Can’t they stay forever this way?  NMTD in my heart And my heart reaches past this screen

Taming my wild heart to thy loving hand: If thou dost love, my kindness shall incite thee To bind our loves up in a holy band;
