There’s nothing like a bit of show business razzle dazzle to brighten up your holiday break, so TOP 10 was happy to help the actors and directors behind 100% kiwi western movie Netherwood with their country-wide launch tour.

View the movie trailer.

Having locations all over New Zealand makes this a perfect match, and TOP 10 Holiday Parks were keen to accommodate the stars of this movie as they rolled it out around the country, in typical kiwi fashion.

The faces will be familiar to Shortland Street fans: Will Hall as the bad guy Mex (you’ll remember him as Kip Denton from Shorties) and the hero of the piece, Owen Black as Stan (Owen was Shortland St baddie Ethan Pierce). You’ll also recognise plenty of other familiar kiwi actors in the movie itself, including Miriama Smith and Peter Rowley.

And if you hail from North Canterbury, you’ll probably also recognise plenty of Waipara locals among the extras.

Netherwood is a fully independent 90 minute feature film homegrown in North Canterbury, a movie that never takes itself too seriously, and that’s the idea behind the roadshow as well.

Owen Hall’s vision for the regional screenings was of sausage sizzles, sheep, a green carpet made of astro turf. live band and plenty of sponsors beverages. He says each event will be a mini-premiere. The guys are wetting ticket holders whistles with a free Jim Beam, plus Brights’ bangers and burgers in each location.

Check out the listing on the TOP 10 blog for all the dates Netherwood’s stars in the black King of Shaves Hummer – and the movie, will be in each location and keep track through the TOP 10 Facebook page for updates, comments from the stars, giveaways and more.
