bMovies is back to celebrate the NZ International Film Festival! To kick it off, writer-director Tom Levesque comes up to the studio to talk about his debut feature film Shut Eye. Shut Eye follows the story of a young woman and her discovery of the ASMR world, shot in downtown Auckland in the winter of 2021. It's beautiful, eerie, and definitely not one to miss. Catch it at the Hollywood Avondale, 31 July. Whakarongo mai nei! 

Mika X popped into studio this morning to chat about 'Gurl', his short film about legendary trans activist and performer Carmen Rupe. Tune in to hear about the project and Mika's memories of Carmen as a friend and mentor. Gurl is part of the Ngā Whanaunga Māori Pasifika Shorts 2020. 

Max Currie is the director of Rūrangi, a forthcoming web-series which is having its premiere as part of this year's NZIFF. Max popped into studio to chat about the show which follows the story of young trans activist Caz as he returns to his small rural hometown for the first time in the 10 years since he left, and begins to reconnect with his father and friends. 

This morning Maria popped in to chat about 'Jesus Shows You The Way To The Highway', directed by Miguel Llanso and screening at the NZIFF. It's a buck-wild, smash-cut, fever-dream of a film; tune in to find out more.
