Friday Tigers (Ngā Taika o te Rāmere)
Short Film (Full Length) – 2013
We loved the whimsy of Friday Tigers, with its line drawings and a young mother’s delightfully fanciful creation of animal identities for herself and her small daughter ... the story moves crisply, the acting is beguiling, and the ending — a vote for courage and the power of the imagination — is a surprise and a delight.– Juror Simon Wilson explains why Friday Tiger won Best NZ Short Film at the NZ International Film Festival , 4 August 2013
I don't really know if I'm very similar to Ana ... I guess I am. She's a fighter, and I guess I'm a bit of a fighter in life ... I wanted to play something quite different to what I would be cast as normally by other people.– Aidee Walker, in an August 2013 FleetSt Productions interview on YouTube
