I just came from an early screening of MĀRAMA, a Māori gothic horror from an excellent team led by Taratoa Stappard. It’s a banger, moody asf, with an explosive ending I’ll never forget.

It opens in Aotearoa tomorrow, and in the US in April. Go find it.

Sometimes the scene is more effective if you can hear both sides but only see one side, like in GONE GIRL...

Sometimes the scene is more effective if you can only hear and see one side of the call, like in THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ALICE CREED...

Here's the first page from one of my WIPs, called Requiem For An Assassin. lt's a character tragedy cleverly disguised as an action thriller.

Before feeling grumpy it took me this long to get home, I need to remember it used to take six months by boat
