Advance Screening New Zealand Film
You can receive free passes* to an advance screening of
Eagle vs Shark
From New Zealand comes a wickedly offbeat
love story - a funny, fractured romance
between two total misfits, woven into an
all-consuming quest for revenge, and shot
through with the strange, sweet hilarity of
the human condition.
A smash hit at the 2007
Sundance Film Festival and winner of best
screenplay at the HBO Comedy Festival, EAGLE
vs SHARK introduces the original and
delightfully different vision of
writer-director Taika Waititi, a young Kiwi
comic star, who won an Academy AwardŽ
nomination for his short film "Two Cars, One
Night."
It all begins with Lily (LOREN HORSLEY), a
lonely oddball and fast-food waitress who
happens to be a hopeless romantic. Then
there's Jarrod (JEMAINE CLEMENT), the man of
Lily's dreams, another lonely oddball and
video game clerk, who has spent the last
decade plotting ultimate vengeance on a
bully from his high school past.
When these two connect at a "dress as your
favorite animal" party, she's an anemic
Shark and he’s a fluffy-headed Eagle. It’s a
match that seems made in outcast heaven, but
when Lily decides to risk everything for
love, her hopes are nearly dashed.
After a
brief fling, Jarrod dumps Lily because he’s
too busy “training” for his all-important
payback mission. But neither of them can
anticipate just what kind of grit the
steadfastly optimistic Lily will show in her
heartbreak. As Jarrod’s day of reckoning
arrives, and everything hits the fan, Jarrod
and Lily will find something that goes
beyond romantic fantasies and revenge.
The cast of New Zealanders includes Loren
Horsley, Jemaine Clement, Craig Hall, Rachel
House, Brian Sergent and Joel Tobeck. The
film is set to the mesmerizing sounds of
rising New Zealand pop artists The Phoenix
Foundation.
