Taniwha: [Tanifa] • “Supernatural creatures in New Zealand Māori tradition, similar to serpents and dragons in other cultures, said to hide in the ocean, rivers, lakes or caves.” • Wiremu is an 11 year old Maori boy who misses his dead father and doesn’t get on with his new stepfather, John. John is having difficulty adjusting to his new role and frequently butts heads with moody Wiremu. At school, Wiremu asks his Te Reo teacher how to call a taniwha. What follows is a story of forgiveness and redemption. • Accolades: • Official Selection - Wairoa Maori Film Festival • Official Selection - Cannes Short Film Corner • Official Selection - The Wellington Public Cinema • Award of Merit - The IndyFEST • First Selection - Moving Pictures Festival, Belgium • Award of Merit - Elevation Indy Awards • Award of Merit - Accolade Global Film Competition • Cast: • James Crompton - John • Te Ahorangi Retimana - Martin - Wiremu • Corrdelia Haenga - Atawhai • Patricia Wichman - Meri(mum) • Deejay Williams - Te Reo teacher • Directed and Produced by Aidan Otene Dickens • Alex Arruda - Assistant Producer • Kyle Van Tonder - DOP • Raoul Darlington - Art Director • Roisin Kelly - Art Department • Sammi Kim - 1st AD • Scott Boswell - 1st AD(Classroom scene) • Emily Weiss - 2nd AD • David Chan - 1st AC • Ray Cho - 2nd AC • Maxime Viargues - Gaffer • Hughie Williams- Karaitianga - Soundie • Sam - Payne - Soundie AC • Garth Robertson - Grip • Jayne Del Carme - Makeup • Jess Iwikau - Makeup • Milla Dickens - Script Continuity • Danielle Cole - Wardrobe Assistant • Tracey Olivier - Unit Stills • Filmed in Auckland, New Zealand in Killarney Park, Unitec and Kyles place. • Thanks to everyone involved! • / landofthetaniwha • illuminateproductions.co.nz • aidanotenedickens.squarespace.com • #landofthetaniwha #Illuminateproductions #Aidanotenedickens
