12.50 Road Trip
There’s a shout out to New Zealanders with stories to share
about road trips around the country, to be woven into an interactive
drama/documentary series by Emmy award-winning web-series makers David Stubbs
and Thomas Robins. The episodes will be shown on Stuff from 29 September.
The call for stories or interesting characters can be sent
via email to: roadtrip@stuff.co.nz or

Trip section.
The lead actress is Canadian Megan Heffern and the local
actor is Nua Finau who’s a recent graduate from Toi.
1:10 At the Movies with Simon Morris
The second Sin City “comic book on the screen”. Smaller, and
rather better are an Indian charmer called The Lunchbox, and the stripped-down,
man-in-a-car thriller Locke, starring Tom Hardy.
1:34 Simon Denny
Multi-media artist Simon Denny is representing New Zealand
at the Venice Biennale next year. It is very much a work in progress because
Simon is fascinated by current trends – notably the internet, privacy and mass
surveillance. Before Venice, he’s installing his exhibition, based on the
inventory of the hundreds of items taken by police from Kim DotCom’s mansion in
2012, at Wellington’s Adam Art Gallery after it went on show in Austria and
England.
1:47 The Voice of Age

Long-time fashion and beauty writer, Cecilie Geary, has just
committed her five decades of experiences and memories to paper. After starting
out as a copywriter, Cecilie wrote for the Auckland Star when fashion
journalism and photography were in their infancy here, before starting a very
long association with Fashion Quarterly. She’s seen trends come and go, and
come back again. Cecilie Geary’s memoir, Being There, Memoirs of a Fashion and
Beauty Writer, 1956-2006 is available via the New Zealand Fashion Museum.
2:38 Book Bazaar
No-one loves a good story more than children, and this
school holiday at Capital E, some leading children’s authors and an illustrator
will be presenting workshops as part of a Book Bazaar, which is all about
developing storytelling skills through words and pictures.
2:49 Daya Czepanski
Young Auckland playwright Daya Czepanski is just 18 and
already she’s seeing her first play performed on stage, The Cohort Hotel.
Several established theatre practitioners believe she’s got real potential and
they’ve taken her under their wing to help with the script. The Hawkins Youth
Theatre Company is putting on the black comedy which premieres at Hawkins
Theatre Papakura on the 3rd of October.
3:05 The Drama Hour
A new Roger Hall series, Book Ends, and the poignant short
