Here's a first Pasifika Christmas movie that I'll be checking out these holidays and it's called "Mama's Music box" hitting the screen's this week by the same director as "Hibiscus and Ruthless", "Three wise cousins" and "Take home pay" starring Tofiga.
In fact, whilst doing a wee bit of research on the background of the movie, I read on https://www.thecoconet.tv/coco-talanoa/blog/pacific-island-xmas-film-mamas-music-box/ that they gave themselves a challenge of 30 days to produce the feature film from scratch!
Now, that's pretty genius and demanding to be able to do that and then have it showing in Cinemas the following month! Wow! as I've featured writer/director Stallone Vaiaoga-Ioasa's earlier movies in review on this blog and have been pretty impressed by him and his producer/sister, Abba Rose's effort's to bring their creative efforts to a public paying audience.
It also goes to show that there is a lot of Pasifika talent out there, not only in producing, writing, shooting, directing etc. the movie but also in the talented cast of actors and support crew to make this movie come to fruition in such a short time.
Suffice to say that as soon as I watch it, I'll be writing a review and looking forward to a few laughs that sometimes only Pasifika people can understand and a great storyline with a lot of action. Catching it in Manukau cinemas this weekend...
