Candyman (2010)

"Wellington filmmaker Costa Botes, co-director of Forgotten Silver, turns his attention to a real-life unsung pioneer in this portrait of the Los Angeles man who, in 1976, invented a Reagan-era sensation: the smaller, tastier jelly bean: the Jelly Belly.

Showing time-honoured Kiwi disdain for pushiness, Botes heaps kudos on this sweet American dreamer for missing the bus from small business to big." (New Zealand International Film Festival 2010)
