Taking three protagonists as examples we cast a look at contemporary Samoa: Rooted between tradition and modernity it tries to find its own place in today’s world economy. The protagonists are wanderers between two cultures: modern New Zealand on the one hand, and Samoa with its traditional social structures on the other.

The film aims at an unusual closeness to the people portrayed in it, based on the long-lasting friendship between protagonists, director and film author. The film thus will be made in close cooperation of all of them. As a result, it will offer the viewers a realistic view of Samoa rather than stereotype images of a tourists’ paradise.

The Viral Messiah

Written by Saffron Clark & Carl Plover – a sitcom centred on Martin: a sandwich board man for a sandwich shop, who finds himself the developing centre of social media attention as he rants about the futility of his life, finding unwanted disciples as a result.
