1. Makeover. (2nd prize Tropfest 2013)
Sypnosis: Spring is in the air... and it's time for a change!
Directed by Don Percy.
This is so hilarious. OMG! The things he does to make himself look young! (staple his face, the eyeballs thing, etc). Overall, the film is so sweet :)
2. We've all been there. (winner Tropfest 2013)
Sypnosis: A flat tyre connects a stranded traveller, a struggling waitress and a man in need of some luck in a way they couldn't imagine.
Directed by Nicholas Clifford.
This is so lovely. There is something about the theme 'we've all been there'. We've all been broke, been hopeless, and life is so full of up and down. It's nice to help others whenever we can because you never know some of them really need it .
3. Capuccino Tango. (winner Tropfest NZ 2013)
Synopsis: In a society obsessed with coffee, two lonely decaf drinkers overcome hostility and prejudice to find love in a cafe.
Directed by Dave Smith.
OmG how creative is this? Who would have thought to make a musical film about coffee and then furthermore just add tango on top of it?! Brilliant!
4. Things to do. (Finalist)
Synopsis: The things we do for love. How far would you go for the one you love?
Directed by Daniel Jameison & Ana Maria Belo.
Ahhh... this one melts my heart. Just watch it because I don't want to spoil it by saying too much :)
5. A man walks into a bar. (Finalist)
Synopsis: A man walks into a bar... and so does a woman.
Directed by Rhys Wakefield & Sophia Lowe.
This is so funny and brilliantly acted!
6. I love this song 'Live and be free' by Tim McMorris. Such a sweet and joyful song :)
Life is good, it is good, to, me
And it was meant, for you, to live and be free, to live and be free
Walk the path, take some time to laugh
And maybe it's been a while, but even try to smile, even try to smile
Cause today is only here and then it's tomorrow
There's no point livin' a life that full of regret and drownin' in sorrow
Lift your head up high and open your eyes
You can choose to be happy, if you try, you might be surprised
Choices that you have made can be revised
Have no fear, for the time, you're here
And if you don't know where to start, then follow your heart, follow your heart
And run, run fast, learn from things, that have passed
And know that everything O.K,
just make that choice today, make your choice today
Cause today is only here and then it's tomorrow
There's no point livin' a life that full of regret and drownin' in sorrow
Lift your head up high and open your eyes
You can choose to be happy, if you try, you might be surprised
Choices that you have made can be revised
7. I love this family picture. So cute!
8. This, below, is so cool! How did anyone even know how to do that?
9. Such a breathtaking picture of Canadian Pacific Railway, Alberta, Canada! I'd love to visit and do the train ride one day :)
10. I love this quote,
"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing."
-- Neil Gaiman
You don't have to be special, you just have to be kind.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! x
