Wellington Te Whanganui-a-Tara
Overview
A desire to move away from the city they call home has swept over a group of Wellington-based flat mates. But, more urgently, they've seen a FREE piano advertised on Wellington community page, Vic Deals, and they simply must go and get it!
Kia ora koutou!
Want to see Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui Wellington on the big screen as never before? Well, look no further than FISH HEAD - the all new comedy feature film project set in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand!
The people behind this project love Wellington. We love the quaint villages hidden among the hills, the stormy seas of Island Bay, the mist falling on Mount Victoria. It can’t be beaten on a good day, and we argue it's not so bad on a bad day either.
This project seeks to represent on screen the hilarious absurdity found in conversations and goings ons of young people in 2020s Wellington.
Moreover, it aims to investigate a negative attitude towards the city that is seemingly pervasive among young Wellingtonians.

Project Updates
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Kia ora to all our generous donors!
An incredible thank you for the support you have given this project. We could not have done it without you! Your donations will go towards koha for volunteers, equipment hire/purchase, petrol, snacks for on set, insurance, set dressing and props, special costume items and more.
The support we have received from the community, be that by way of donations or otherwise, has been so gratifying and inspiring. Thank you for supporting up-and-coming Pōneke artists.
Production has begun, with us having just undergone a four night shoot at the Wellington Botanic Gardens - hence why this thank you has taken so long to materialise. With a cyclone thrown in to keep things interesting, we have another intense but fun week of shooting coming up this week!
I am so grateful to have the most supportive, proactive and enthusiastic cast and crew on this project. It is a dream come true.
Keep an eye on our project’s Instagram page - there’ll be some pictures of our production posted soon, alongside introductions of our wonderful cast and crew.
Also - how could I forget? - as promised, I’ll be going for a swim in an iconic Wellington water feature shortly! Stay posted.
The warmest regards,
