Amatu
(2005; commissioned)
Previously A Japanese Werewolf in Auckland - with an early title like that, what more can I say? Later drafts - evinced by the new title - turned it into more of an indigenous horror film.

Professional
(2003; spec)
A thriller about a man whose past catches up with him in more ways than he expected. A loose sequel to Amateur - I wanted to see where the characters would be ten or fifteen years down the track. I'm sentimental like that.

D F Mamea, based on a story by David Blyth.
