Spellbound by this world

We, the audience, sat spellbound by this world, our world, the screen showed to us. "James & Isey." A love-song of our living and breathing Northland. The rushing surf was there, the trees were there, the peaceful cattle, even Tane Mahuta and the hole in the rock. In the middle of all this sits Isey, very much alive. Her still youthful son James at her side shows love, respect and patience and deepness of soul. I feel enriched by this movie. Everybody seemed to be. There was much laughter and even applause in the audience, well merited once! I say: "Thank you" from all my heart. -Marianna Grothe, aged 93.

Love through a lens

James and Isey are beautifully captured by Florian Habicht in this heart warming tribute to age, family, love and companionship. Isey is simply delightful, expressive face, sparkling eyes and even the house adds to the portrayal of a life well lived. James brings colour and character to the movie and an intense spiritual quality. Florian, you grabbed a once in a lifetime opportunity and rocked it, One man, one camera, one damn fine movie! Congratulations to all involved.
