We Feel Fine

With their first film, directors Adam Luxton and Jeremy Dumble set out to capture "moments of hesitation and uncertainty" among Auckland's non spaces: its motorways, warehouses, car parks and recycling centres. The full-length feature follows disparate characters around the inner city. Each are connected somehow to Nigerian-Kiwi teen Moses (Moses Alofokhai), whose unusual VHS cassette art project spurs artist George (played by Luxton) to question his direction. Privileged drifter Kelly (Morgana O'Reilly) has a fling with a party lover (Emmett Skilton). Florian Habicht (director of Love Story) cameos as a verbose con man.  

I guess the film we wanted to make was something that felt really intrinsically located here, and was expressed in a genuinely cinematic language. What we came up with was a kind of ‘serious comedy’ that explores what we consider to be the divergent and in many ways juvenile culture we call home.
