Music
Rosie (Michelle Pfeiffer), una mujer de 40 años, productora de "Adelante, chica", un programa sobre adolescentes ricas de color, pasa las tardes pensando en diálogos ‘callejeros’ y jugando a las Barbies con su hija, Izzie (Saoirse Ronan). Pero todo eso está a punto de cambiar. El programa va mal y el trabajo de Rosie está en la cuerda floja. Mientras tanto, Izzie tiene sus propios problemas. Se ha empezado a cansar de las Barbies, su primera menstruación está a la vuelta de la esquina y ya empieza a darse cuenta de lo mucho que duele el primer amor: se ha enamorado de un chico de su clase que ni siquiera se ha percatado de que ella existe…
Sound
New Zealand’s first CGI short film gives “eyes on the road” a new meaning as a pair of eyeballs drive to a mind-bending purgatory. A collaboration between visual effects man John Sheils and his brother Michael, Scream was shot in early 1991; finally 25 minutes of footage was “brutally” edited down to three, and fulsomely scored by John Gibson. The sly ‘based on true events’ title-card nods to the makers’ ambitions to “treat animation like live action.” In 1994 it screened in NZ cinemas as opener to the ILM wizardry of Jim Carrey hit The Mask, followed by a number of overseas festivals.
Sound Mixer
Fifty years in the making, this extraordinary reconstruction of a never-completed 1940 documentary captures the construction of seven massive traditional war canoes by Maori tribespeople in anticipation of New Zealand's centenary celebrations.
