Kia ora, you’re tuned into RadioActive.fm Parakuihi with your host Sunaina.

And today we are chatting about a film in the NZ International Arts Festival, made right here in Aotearoa, The Weed Eaters.

Shot on a deceptively low budget raised through crowdfunding, the film follows friends on a New Year’s Eve trip  in the wops of North Canterbury, when they stumble across a long-abandoned stash in an old shed. After a quick session and an accidental murder, the marijuana turns them into enthusiastic cannibals. To cover the evidence of their murder, they decide to keep toking so they can devour the body. What will happen when the meat runs out? Who will be the next victim?  

The film features appearances from Delaney Davidson, The Bats’ Paul Kean and comedian David Correos, and today I am joined by the film’s director Callum Devlin,

Kia ora Callum!
