Rotterdam

Kua tae mai!

Heoi, nōnātahi pō kē rā i tae mai ai. Tahi anō au ka wātea ki te tuhituhi.

4 karaka i te atapō te taima i konei. E kore taku tinana e moe, horekau anō i taunga noa ki te wā o konei. He pō i konei, he awatea i konā.

I tētahi kē rā o ngā TUHI KAU, ka kī atu au, tērā au e whakamārama i te āhua o taku mahi i konei. E aru haere ana i te pikitia poto nei, a Taua, nā māua ko Tearepa Kahi i mahi. Nā Tearepa i tuhi, i ringatohu hoki (direct), nāku i hautū. E rua ngā kaupapa pikitia i konei. He hui whakaari kiriata, ka tahi. He mākete rapu moni hei waihanga pikitia ko Cinemart te ingoa, ka rua. Ko tāku i konei, he tautoko i a Taua i uru nei ki te hui whakaari kiriata o Rotterdam. He rapu moni hoki i Cinemart hei mahi i tā māua pikitia roa tuatahi ko Tearepa.

Ko te āhua pikinga o te arawhata ki te pikitia roa (feature film), e pēnei ana: Me mahi pikitia poto i te tuatahi. Ki te paingia tērā, tēnā pea ka whiwhi moni anō koe hei mahi pikitia poto tuarua. Ki te paingia tērā, tēnā pea ka atawhaitia tō pikitia roa tuatahi. Te pūtea katoa mō te waihanga i ēnei pikitia, ka ahu mai i te NZ Film Commission (te nuinga o ngā pikitia). Heoi, mēnā ka hiahia tētahi kamupene tohatoha pikitia, hoko pikitia rānei, mahi pikitia rānei o tāwāhi ki te tautoko i tō pikitia roa ki te moni, hei tāpiri ki wā te NZ Film Commission moni, tahi ka tino pai kē atu. He tohu tērā, he kaihanga pikitia koe e mātakitakina ana e te ao. Ka māmā kē atu te huarahi tono pūtea i te NZ Film Commission, te mea, te mea, te mea (mēnā ka whakaae tētahi kamupene ki te hōmai i te pūtea katoa e oti ai tō pikitia – hei aha te Film Commission!)

Heoi, te nuinga rā o ngā pikitia, ko te NZ Film Commission kē te kaiwhāngai, motuhake. Erangi, kia tae ki te rua, otirā, ki te toru o ō pikitia roa, mēnā ko ngā ū nahenahe o te Film Commission o Niu Tireni tō oranga, ka whakatikingia koe, kātahi ka whakamaroketia te waiū. Koia tērā.

Nō reira, he mea nui te tūtakitaki ki ngā kamupene mahi pēnei i tāwāhi, kei reira kē tō oranga ā tōna wā.

Kāti, te roanga atu o ngā whakamārama mō tēnei tūāhua, he whīwhiwi rawa. Kei hōhā koe. Ka nui pea kia mōhiotia, koia ēnei ko ngā tepe kake haeretanga. Nō reira, te mahi i konei, he aru haere i te pikitia poto, a Taua, ka tahi. Ka rua, ko te mākete nei. Kei konei ngā kamupene e kōrerotia ake rā, he moni wā rātou hei whakamōmona ake i te pūkoro. Ka mutu, pēnā koe i pōwhiritia kia tae mai ki tēnei hui, ka āhei koe te huihui haere ki aua tāngata, me te whakaari (pitch) i tō kaupapa ki a rātou. Ko tāku kaupapa, ko te pikitia roa tuatahi a māua ko Tearepa, ko A Gift to Zion te ingoa.Tēnā pea, ko te pepeha mō tēnei haerenga, ko ‘Whakaaria mai te moni (show me the money)!’

I tae mai ai, nā te NZ Film Commission ngā raruraru i utu, i runga i te urunga atu o te pikitia poto nei, a Taua, ki ētahi hui whakaari kiriata rongonui o te ao. Ko te Rotterdam Film Festival i tēnei wiki. Ā te Wenetei e heke mai nei, ko te Clermont Ferrand Film Festival i Wīwī. Ā tua atu, ko te Berlin Film Festival i Tiamani. Ka tūtaki au ki a Tearepa ki Wīwī.

Ā taihoa, ka TUHI KAU anō mō Rotterdam, arā, mō te āhua o tēnei taone me ōna tāngata.

Hore anō i pau noa te wiki ki konei, mate pai ana au i te mokemoke ki taku whānau. I kōrero au ki a rātou mā runga i te Skype i te ahiahi nei. Tahi anō ratou ka hoki ake i te hui nui a Ngāpuhi i tū ki Kaikohe i ngā rā whakatā i taha atu nei.Te hanga nei, he hui whakamīharo rawa atu. Ai ai ai. Me tīni au i taku mahi kia kāti ai taku ngaro mai.
