Bellbird
Film (Trailer) – 2019
Mum used to do the talking for both of us.– Bruce (Cohen Holloway)
The characters of Bellbird were inspired by my childhood neighbours in the small rural Northland community of Tauraroa…you don't see many outward displays of affection or emotion, but this can't be mistaken for not caring. It's very much the opposite. The love, the loyalty, the reliance – it can all be found in the little moments, buried under the layers of cheeky banter and cow shit.– Writer/director Hamish Bennett
