The Kiwi production stood alongside US and Russian films for awards in the Short film category. ‘Letter for Hope’ is a contemporary and inspirational drama featuring actors Don Langridge, April Phillips, Lorae Parry and Jeremy Nelson. The themes of loss and reflection resolve in a motivational conclusion. Written by April Phillips with cinematography by Matt Sharp (Eternity, When Night Falls), production by Craig Hutchison and direction by Raquel Roderick.
“We’ve proved again we do it better against higher budget productions and that New Zealanders punch above our weight. This is a proud moment and I am honoured to go and accept this award" said Craig.
The Roxy Cinema in Wellington was the venue for the red carpet event preview screening the film which was professionally produced with a budget of $50,000 funded by CAS’n’OVA Productions.
