Second finals berth for southern team

A Southland team of film-makers have once again made it to the grand finals of the HP48 Hours film competition.

In May, Invercargill team Super Furious Ninja Dragons were given just 48 hours to make a short splat-stick film, and on Wednesday, were told they were a wild-card entry into the grand finals, for the second year in a row.

The film Officer Fighter uses video-game-style effects to portray a gory-comedy film, which producer Steven Woller said was the cleanest way of presenting the splat-stick genre.

"With splat-stick, generally there’s a massive amount of blood and we’ve done that before. It’s great, but there’s always a lot of clean-up."

The 48 hour grand final is being held this weekend  in Auckland. Pictured is director of photography James Wilkinson on set.
