Nice and EasyThe winners and finalists of the 2004 48hrs Film Festival are turning up in drips and drabs over at nzshortfilm.com.

Unfortunately, the one I was involved with (tenuously - if you can count handing over three CDs of my music as involvement, then I was indeed getting my hands dirty), hasn't yet made it online, but other efforts from people I know or have met are there - including Sam Buys' (aka samflux) effort Nice and Easy (which, coincidentally, had the same theme/prop thing going on as our film), Igor de Borst's Shutter Speed (Dolf de Datsun's brother, wouldn't you know?), and Taika Waititi's winning effort Heinous Crime.

There's a few familiar names in the Auckland bunch as well - mostly because of their celeb status: some Shortland Streeters turn up here, hire-a-nz-music-host Dominic Bowden makes an acting appearance (in a film with my ex-flatmate, oddly enough), and some of the Auckland comedy fraternity had their hands in this pie.

Happy viewing.
