The Sunshine Man... If only we can see what he sees! For just one easy payment, you too can escape the disappointment and heartache of your meaningless existence. For a limited time only, the Sunshine Man offers you the golden opportunity to see the life as he does! But just remember 'sometimes things aren't what they seem', and after watching this curious dark comedy, you may think twice before hanging up on a salesperson. From emerging director Peter Tonks, this film is a visual treat with performances to match, and beautifully accompanied by Rhian Sheehan's haunting score.
Fish Out of Water manages to unfurl its light-hearted tale of young man and the sea, without a word of dialogue. Avoiding the morning traffic jams, our man (Nick Dunbar) finds peace by rowing each day to work in the city. But when a seductive blonde unexpectedly enters the picture, he finds his morning boat ride heading in unexpected directions. Directed by Lala Rolls (Land of My Ancestors), Fish Out of Water was invited to play in the 2005 NZ Film Festival, plus another 10 overseas fests. Victoria Kelly composes the brass and banjo-inflected soundtrack.
