A great night for team CHOIR GAMES at the NZ Screen Awards. Especially Tim Woodhouse and James Brown who took home the prize for Best Editing Documentary. So proud of these amazing people and those that couldn't be there. We made something special together.

If you haven't heard of Gary Stevenson, you should have. His argument for taxing the rich, as expressed in this interview, is so clear, so simple, so OBVIOUS! His theories aren't just about the U.K. and NZ, his ideas are global and important> www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/579...

I was privileged to be in the room for a special screening with the cast and subjects of PIKE RIVER last night. What an inspiring film. People power, love and bloody mindedness are so important, now more than ever. Please go see this wonderful film (opening weekend New Zealand!). #PikeRiver
