About Face
Television, 1985
Seven (arguably eight) stand-alone contemporary dramas, collected together under one umbrella: the stories in this television series showcase a fresh wave of 1980s independent filmmakers. They cross the gamut from gritty kitchen sink dramas and oddball tales of Kiwi heroes, to Jewel's Darl, an acclaimed romance staring future transsexual MP Georgina Beyer. Five of the About Face directors went on to make feature films; 23-year-old Jennifer Ward-Lealand's performance in Danny and Raewyn won a GOFTA Award. Alison Maclean's Rud's Wife also screened at the tail end of the series.
