Southern WIFTers team up for apocalyptic drama

Director and writer Gillian Ashurst is collaborating with producers Nadia Maxwell (Human Traces) and Catherine Fitzgerald (Bellbird) to make the short film The Meek.

The Meek is an apocalyptic drama in which humanity is shown to be on the brink of extinction due to, ahem, a virus! 

Gillian's feature Snakeskin returns to the big screen as part of a specially curated line-up of retrospective films to honour Bill Gosden, former director of Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF).
