Who are you and why are you here

I’m just a Kiwi fella pretending to be an Aussie, which isn’t hard because you Aussies think we are one and the same (are aren’t bro). I’m here because I have a history of making very emo short films about food. In one of them I’m depicted as a tyrannical chef who gets murdered then turned into compost by my staff. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and I didn’t have any lack of staff volunteering for the role of executioner.

Tell us the top three films you're looking forward to from the festival

• Buoyancy
• Thurston Moore Plays Maya Deren
• Honeyland 

 What is your favourite film of all time?

Jane Campion's The Piano. It was filmed on the farm that I grew up on in rural New Zealand.
