Matakana

And then had a quick nap when I landed.

And then straight up to Matakana.

Hour drive.

You fucking cook there.

You were a day late.

Yeah, yeah.

And so then did Matakana Beats by Bingo.

Then had to get up early, come do the job, quick nap.

In Auckland.

And then I'm going to drive up to Matakana and host Beats by Bingo.

If anyone's around.

No, no, no, no.

If you stick around, we might mention it again, but very, very excited to see that one.

It's coming of age, it's queer, it's set in rural Matakana and Omaha in the summer of 2006.

It follows 14-year-old Sid Brookman as she navigates friendship, identity, desire, and a desperate need to fit in.

This is like top, top, top, top of my watch list.

Big Girls Don't Cry is the debut feature film from local director Palomar Schneiderman aka Polly Hill.

So it is set in rural Matakana in Omaha somewhere during the summer of 2006 following a 14 year old as they Come of age, learn about identity, all of those wonderful things.

So if you want to enter, all you need to do is text in to 5395 with your name and your B card number.

And I'm going to throw out, because we do this every week, I'm going to throw out a little prompt that we can talk about and judge you for throughout the rest of the show.

This is La Le Lai in the background.

One of my favorite tunes.

from the band it's 4 44 p.m my name is big jay we're on a giveaway tonight uh we're doing two giveaways tonight but we're on our first giveaway right now this is it for a double pass to see big girls don't cry in cinemas from october 8th uh it's a film directed by paloma schneiderman aka polly hill the musician who played a little bit of their music before and it's set in rural Matakana in Omaha during the summer of 2006 following a 14 year old as she navigates friendship, identity, desire and a desperate need to fit in.

I have...

Smith's at the Stables.

That's at Matakana Country Park, just out of Matakana Village.

I'll be there this Sunday from 12 o'clock till 4 o'clock, so Sunday lunchtime.

Here's Billy Cobham with Panhandler.

in terms of look and feel and kind of creating a mood board, I kind of just used a saved folder on Instagram and every time I liked something would kind of save it in a folder.

In terms of vendors, I think... photographer wasn't that hard for me like I thought I think I always knew kind of like the look and feel of photographers I liked and so that was quite an easy easy choice in terms of food because we weren't in New Zealand that was a bit challenging like um one of our friends sister's is a caterer who, who we love and she, she was, is based kind of up in Matakana ways.

And so initially we were thinking her, but then we were like, oh, getting her from Matakana all the way to Whangamata will just be a mere.

And so we started looking at kind of other, other vendors kind of around Whangamata and then kind of landed on whisk.

And thank God for, for Jerome.
