In this episode, we are joined by two accomplished filmmakers, Chelsea Winstanley and Pietra Brettkelly. Chelsea is a New Zealand-based producer and director, whose work includes the critically acclaimed films "What We Do in the Shadows" and "Jojo Rabbit", as well as the documentary "Merata: How Mum Decolonised the Screen". Pietra is an award-winning New Zealand filmmaker, whose work includes the documentaries "Yellow is Forbidden" and "A Flickering Truth". Together, they bring a wealth of experience and insight to our discussion on the film industry in New Zealand, including the challenges and opportunities facing filmmakers today, the importance of diversity and representation in storytelling, and the role of film in shaping cultural narratives. 

We also discuss their latest project, "Crocodile", a coming-of-age documentary film about a group of Nigerian children rising from the swamp of drug trafficking and scamming, rewriting their future... and setting it in a 2049 scifi world.
