David Blyth
David Blyth cemented his place in the Kiwi filmmaking renaissance with two films that left social realism far behind: 1978 experimental feature Angel Mine, and 1984's Death Warmed Up, New Zealand's first homegrown horror movie. Since then Blyth's work has included family friendly vampire film Moonrise, a number of documentaries on war, and varied works exploring sexuality.
Film has been a vehicle for experimenting with emotions and exploring taboos...my main conflict has been the desire to break new ground, personally and artistically, while acknowledging the financial realities involved in surviving as a filmmaker. David Blyth, in conversation with Roger Horrocks in 1985
