Tangiwai - A Love Story
Television (Trailer and Excerpts) – 2011
Tangiwai totally stood out. From a script perspective it was incredibly emotional. I had the same reaction that most people do where I cried when I read it. I was incredibly caught up in the story.– Director Charlie Haskell
Young love may be hard to portray without going down the sentimental path, but this drama shone with its depiction of social mores in New Zealand in the repressed and repressive 1950s, most particularly with the portrayal of Catholic girl marrying Protestant boy.– Writer Linda Burgess in The Dominion Post, 16 August 2008
