Check out Kathleen Mantel's documentary series on Maori Television about Flaxmere resident Peleti Oli-Alainu'uese (pictured above) and the M?ori and Pacific community of men who frequent his Hastings barbershop.
We missed mentioning in the last issue that Kathleen is one of the 15 filmmakers to be matched with experienced New Zealand filmmakers in the inaugural round of Hunga Taunaki ? Rorohiko, the New Zealand Film Commission's (NZFC) new online mentorship programme. Kathleen will be mentored by writer Briar Grace-Smith to further develop a documentary feature.
