The chief executive of New Zealand Film Commission has high hopes for the three Maori-made films screening at next month’s Toronto Film Festival.
Maori language action epic The Dead Lands will premiere at the festival.
The Dark Horse and the Taika Waititi vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows will also get exposure at what is considered a key festival for launching North American and European independent productions.
