Having thought it was gone forever, I just found this in my short film archive on VHS, and what a delight! It was always one of my favourite shorts, a tightly executed idea bursting with between-the-lines hilarity and tension that is something of a masterclass in timing. After a relatively long introduction to the vast, enchanting New Zealand landscape, as two 'proper blokes' take their small fishing dinghy out into the lake at sunset, claustrophobia soon sets in when one of them rocks the boat (boom boom) by raising the topic of bisexuality. Endlessly quotable and not a minute wasted. This film deserved much more recognition and surely would have enjoyed the praise it deserves had it travelled the international festival circuit as much as it should have. Not only may favourite short film from New Zealand but one of my favourite shorts of all time. Now I just have to try and get it on DVD!
