World Premiere of BLACK SHEEPS in Sitges tonight! So proud to share the night with two of our stars, Tabatha Killick and Nathan Meister! Sitges is a genre filmmakers’ dream: treated like blimmin royalty!

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️

Tomorrow night! Auckland! We have such sights to show you!

UpThePunksNZ is the long-term archival project of John Lake, who has meticulously documented Te Whanganui-a-Tara's punk history from the late 1970s onwards. You can learn about Wellington punk bands, labels, zines and venues. Check out his new website! Mind blowing mahi!! upthepunks.co.nz

How is such a long-time star and image-conscious actor as Tom Cruise so catastrophically misjudging what he’s doing with his hair? Is he ok? Is he being cared for?

The next Nat/ACT/NZF government will apply a scorched earth approach to public services, institutions and assets, claiming that re-election indicates popular support for the social vandalism clearly on display in their first term. The next iteration will be our own little version of Trump 2. #NZpol

Thrilled to hear the Wellington premiere went well. Auckland, come out Wednesday night to Reading Cinemas New Lynn for your first chance to discover the goopy fun of BLACK SHEEPS, with @jonathanking.bsky.social in attendance for Q&A! readingcinemas.co.nz/cinemas/Lynn...

Oh my god, please end this torture! (And OF COURSE they should cast Henry Cavill).

My cosmic horror short THE VACUUM has so far gotten into these very cool underground film festivals. Not sure where/when/how I’ll play it in NZ cinemas yet but I’m just very proud of this lil’ guy.

It's increasingly clear that the major threat of AI is not super intelligence but the poisoning of every community built around collaboration, communal labor or democratically negotiated standards. www.rnz.co.nz/life/music/u...

Our current government is corruptly captured by fossil fuel interests. There's no other explanation. #VoteGreen

Anyway damn everyone who over the last 10 years tried to gaslight us into believing that we were not seeing what we were obviously seeing.

Just got home from the Black Sheeps premiere at Terror-fi fest. It's so good! So funny and gory and silly. And I'm so proud of @jonathanking.bsky.social and @dillamonster.bsky.social . It just felt like lovely Welly horror community vibes and my face hurts from smiling.

Excited (and nervous) to be sharing BLACK SHEEPS with our first NZ audiences tonight! Premiere screening, followed by actual paying customers for the opening of TERROR-FI Film Fest. We’re so proud of this bonkers film and can’t wait for people to see it! Opens NZ nationwide November 12.

They're almost here... soon.

“The Green Party has released its fully costed fiscal plan, which returns the books to surplus in 2029/30 and pays for new investment with around $8 billion a year in new revenue from the super-rich and big corporations” *fully costed *Return to surplus Then there’s this headline 💭🤔 #nzpol #NZ

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m on sabbatical but sneaked in today thespinoff.co.nz/culture/23-0...

Attention NZ media (still no coverage??) – you'll definitely want to pop your heads out from under that #nzpol rock for this one!

LETS GO! Two ticks Green 💚💚 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

thinking again about the sheer number of insiders who are going to claim things that "everyone knew" that there was no record of them mentioning

They're baaaaaaaack! And now that they've premiered at Sitges, they're coming home! BLACK SHEEPS hits Aotearoa screens soon: * Terror-Fi festival hosts premieres in Wgtn, Chch, AK - info @ terrorfifest.com * Halloween weekend sneaks in cinemas across the motu * General release from 12 November

There’s a Wellington bus driver or two that gets really shitty – one recently made to drive off on me – when you look at your phone as you approach the doors… Which you need to do to activate pay-by-phone.

We live in a world of villains so cartoonish they make James Bond movies look grounded and realistic.

Friction is so important to creative work that people *add* friction to allow themselves to do it. Just one example: meter, in poetry. You create a framework that restricts you, that limits you, in order to give your thoughts a scaffold within which to build.

Joy Division blasting from the black EV at the lights.

Don’t worry – only the spherical part of the priceless globe was damaged.

Almost as if they were intentionally given an impossible task, and the government openly breached the Bill of Rights in order to suppress voter turn out This is coup shit, and media REALLY should have taken a MUCH stronger, consistent line on what the National coalition has done here

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

I'm thrilled to be able to talk about my memoir Night, Ma with Kim Hill, next Saturday the 24 October, Nelson. After breaking my back in early September I had to cancel all this years appearances. 😢 I hung on to this one gig because it was close to home, and seemed far enough off.

Wowee! Congratulations Pip @pipadam.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️
