I think about Holy Days as my masterclass in screenwriting, which it absolutely was.
Nat BolttGUEST
I had made a few short films and then developed a relationship with the author, Joy Cowley, who's like a national icon in New Zealand.
Nat BolttGUEST
And she said, make holy days.
Nat BolttGUEST
And I went, yeah, sure.
Ken KabatoffHOST
Yes.
Nat BolttGUEST
In fact, I made my first short film called The Silk, which is on my website, natboltdirector.com. And...
Nat BolttGUEST
If you watch it, you'll see it has similar themes and it's by the same author, Joy Cowley.
Nat BolttGUEST
And so I made that and it did really, really well at festivals and she loved it.
Victoria SalisburyGUEST
Yes.
Victoria SalisburyGUEST
Or have you ever heard of Joy Cowley? She's a New Zealand children's book author, and she has a story called The Greedy Cat's Breakfast.
Victoria SalisburyGUEST
And I've always loved that story, loved using her books to teach my first graders to read.
Victoria SalisburyGUEST
They would just giggle through the stories and want to read them over and over.
