The Deadly Ponies Gang

Clint Rarm and Dwayne Sisson are the leaders — and sole members — of the Deadly Ponies Gang, a horse obsessed collective west of Auckland. The pair roam the streets on horseback, attempting to flirt with women and delivering gifts of uncertain origin to local kids. This Moa-nominated documentary follows the pair as Clint tries to organise a charity gig to help Dwayne get some new teeth — being toothless is not working out great with the ladies. Also featuring in the madcap hour-long film are a 12-year-old gang aspirant who adorns his horse with cardboard cars, and rural rapper The Rhymestone Cowboy.

A career highlight as a filmmaker was organising a real life, graffitied horse to stand outside the NZ International Film Festival red carpet event. This was to promote the premiere of my film The Deadly Ponies Gang.
