Trailer - Boy

The year is 1984, and on the rural east coast of New Zealand, Boy is a dreamer who loves Michael Jackson. He lives with his brother Rocky, a tribe of deserted cousins and his Nan. Boy's other hero, his father, is the subject of Boy's fantasies. When he returns home after 7 years away, Boy is forced to confront the man he thought he remembered, find his own potential and learn to get along without the hero he had been hoping for. Boy was written/directed by Taika Waititi (Eagle Vs. Shark, Flight of the Conchords) who also plays the father in the film. This is certainly his most personal work and has been getting amazing reviews. It will screen this Saturday Nov. 6th as part of AFI Fest 2010. For more info go to afi.com/afifest
