Wow, there was literally 5 people waving goodbye.
He's probably leaving from a small NZ town, so there would not be a lot of people. Looks great!
Can't wait to see it! Roll on the 25th!
Great to see an independent movie making it to the cinemas -I will definitely be going to see this!
THIS MOVIE LOOKS... TERRIBLE. I WILL LITERALLY SPONSOR A CAMPAIGN TO GET IT REMOVED FROM ALL OF THE CINEMAS AROUND AUCKLAND/NEW ZEALAND!!
Trailer looks fantastic, great to see an independent film make it to the cinema!
Well I say well done to Earthwire Production is making this film. Trailer is great and a huge achievement on a limited budget.
I was in tears watching this.
Poor marketing with two other kiwi films opening almost simultaneously April 26 & May 3 & May 3.
Loved being a part of this. So looking forward to the 25th! Some small minds would have no idea what your great/ grandfathers experienced!
continuing.....thanks for all the great comments on here who understand how hard it is to work on a movie. While asleep & awake...we work!!!
It's being released on ANZAC Day because it's an ANZAC film. Not long now!!
Looking forward to it
Making clearly amateurish movies is no way to honour those who served. Budget for this would have been spent better on the bar at the RSA
What an idiot you are Monty. This film was made with love and respect about a personal story. Amateur it might have been, Amateurish - no
Well done family fantastic effort thoroughly enjoyed the film
It is a fantastic film and solid story. I was truly impressed.
I do know what my grandfather & father, a POW went through from books & documentaries . I found the o'seas scenes disappointing
Thanks for the feedback Lorna. We worked hard to make the overseas scenes convincing, using actual footage shot in Austria and FX shots
