The cast and crew all worked together. No one was more 'special' than anyone else. The community made this film ... Everything on this film was donated, people donated their time, their helicopters, food, wardrobe, make up. We had some wonderful, well-known actors on this film and some incredibly talented crew who would normally charge a lot. Everyone did it for the love. Also the message is so poignant to New Zealand now and always, I believe.
