Another day in paradise! Shrinic visions massage the temple of my eyes… the dance of the motion capture is like a neverending waltz for me year on year, my friends. Find below a little nest to burrow in on cold days in Christchurch at NZIFF 2019. The eight I dedicate to the one man in film I most adore, and that is Bill Gosden!
