Moa Hunt

A “Joint Ventures & Joint Repairs” FILM
WRITTEN BY Joseph Moore, Nic Sampson, Barnaby Fredric

New Year's Day is never fun. Especially when you are hungover, heartbroken, and lost deep in the dense bush of Fiordland - hunting a dangerous and elusively extinct giant bird.

Hours after losing his girlfriend of 7 years, city boy Blake finds himself whisked away by an international team of mysterious explorers - hoping to find the last remaining Dinoris giganteus: The South Island Moa.

With questionable morals, minimal phone battery, and a fairly non-existent target - it would seem their task was impossible. The interference of a furious local gang, a dangerously unstable ex-park-ranger and a particularly desperate NZ Tourism Board don’t help much either.

Set over two days – “Moa Hunt” is an absurd, fast-paced adventure comedy about following your dreams, being true to your mates, and possibly getting some more realistic dreams.
