🇳🇿🎬📽️🥝We just made our first short film of Kaitoa the Kiwi, and thought we would release it to celebrate Matariki! 🥝📽️🎬🇳🇿
🌟✨ Mānawatia a Matariki ✨🌟
As the Matariki stars rise, heralding the Māori New Year—a time for remembrance, celebration, and setting intentions—we are thrilled to introduce Kaitoa the Kiwi, a heart-warming short film written and narrated by Jayson Norris, with enchanting animation and illustrations by Mandii Pope.
🐦 Kaitoa the Kiwi embarks on a journey that echoes the spirit of Matariki: honouring the past, embracing the present, and looking forward to the future. A tale of friendship and the beautiful landscapes of Aotearoa.
Join us in celebrating Matariki by sharing this journey with your loved ones.
