What the F%@K was that?

Well its now official, (for the time being anyway) the title for our film will be "What the F@%K was that? It seems to fit best with the general story flow that we are working on. After countless interviews the most common statement we hear is....you guessed it!

The past week has been great and spending 6 days in mid-Canterbury filming and meeting with locals was invaluable. One thing is for sure, great hospitality is alive and well in the provinces. We were chauffeured up mountainsides ala Barry Crump style in a Toyota Landcruiser, had fruit muffins baked for us, were given free meals and drinks at the pub, had our laundry done and were lent a television.

However, by far the most interesting aspect to the trip was the amount of media interest shown in our documentary. We were photographed by the Ashburton Guardian who wrote a short piece about us. Click here. After this piece featured in the paper we were contacted by TVONE, RADIO LIVE and THE ROCK. We agreed to enter into some interviews with the two radio stations who both tried to push us into a corner and see if we honestly thought there was a 'panther' out there. Lets just say that we have uncovered some fascinating material and do not want to give any of this info away before the film screens.

Anyway, we have been busy snapping some of our progress and have selected a few images to show you how busy we have been.
