New member Lauren Porteous is one to watch - in the past few months, she won Best Female Director at the HP48HRS Festival with Morning After (pictured), and now her short Roadtrip has been announced as a finalist in Tropfest NZ.
Roadtrip is a story in which old flames reunite (because we all know how smoothly that usually goes), and will screen along with the other 15 finalists on February 18 at the TSB Bowl of Brooklands, New Plymouth.
If you can't be at Tropfest to see her work, take a look at Morning After.
Congratulations, Lauren, and all the best!
