Naenae 210

A “Ruth and Ness” FILM
WRITTEN BY Ruth Korver & Vanessa Patea

Naenae is a long way from Beverly Hills, but twins Sam and Samantha can’t help but dream. Every evening they devour internet reruns of that great 80s classic, 90210. (Not the remake, the remake sucks), and every afternoon they hang around the shops, planning their future. When they finish school they are heading out to L.A. to be actors, and escaping the unrelenting boredom of the Hutt Valley.

A local film competition looks like a quick way out and our twins embark on their project. But there’s more to Naenae than meets the eye and Sam and Samantha are about to learn that even though you hate the place you grow up in, eventually there really is no place like home.
