Two Cars, One Night

A short NZ film by Taiki Waititi

Wasted on the young?

More of a nice music video than story, this is not a teenage angst film - it's a celebration of hanging out with friends (and of having the time to hang out with your friends). It brings back some good memories - not that all teenage memories were of bouncy social times - I wouldn't actually want to be a teenager again. But I do miss getting to hang out every day - so much free time. As an adult even if you have free time, it's not usually when all your friends do. We hardly see our cool new flatmate because we work just about opposite shifts. But today, I did have a lovely socialising Sunday - doing a fun photoshoot with a friend then dinner with friends this evening. No skateboarding but there was hulahooping this weekend :)

I thought we would be together forever

I wanted to share this excellent short film as most people probably won't bump into it at their video-shop - yes, I still go to video stores. This one I actually watched at a friend's movie night. She's also studying film so I bought her a Wholphin short film DVD and the following film was on it. It is pretty long for a short film (18 mins), so watch it when you have time to settle in and enjoy:
