#Repost @nzfilm ・・・ 'The Justice of Bunny King', Gaysorn Thavat’s debut feature, will have its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in the Viewpoints section competing for the Nora Ephron Award for Best Female Filmmaker, and Best New Narrative Director Award for first-time filmmakers! ✨ Starring Essie Davis and Thomasin McKenzie, the film tells the story of Bunny King, a mother of two, a rough-cut diamond with a sketchy past. While battling the system to reunite with her children, a confrontation leads her to take her niece Tonyah under her wing. With the world against her and Tonyah, Bunny’s battle has just begun. Written by Sophie Henderson, directed by Gaysorn Thavat and produced by Emma Slade, 'The Justice of Bunny King' is one of three films funded through Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga NZ Film Commission's 125 Fund which offered $1.25M to films led by women. 🖤 Can you say, ‘hell yeah!’ . .
