SEWN Saving Putita!
Posted by admin on September 23, 2011 | Comments Off
Kia Ora, Kia Ora SEWN friends!
I hope your month of August was filled with happiness (let’s not talk about temperature here! ;] ).
We’re kicking off the second part of 2011 with, as promised, a surprise release that will be part of the bonus features on the SEWN DVD. It will show you the incredible coincidence the SEWN Production Team had to have Putita the orca stranding himself right in front of their house in Ruakaka. So Director Nicolas Brikke, Co-Producer Kirsten Berrett, and Roger Hall didn’t think twice about putting on their wetsuits and giving a helping hand to Dr. Ingrid Visser from the Orca Research Trust to help Putita back to deeper waters were his mother, Yin, and brother, Rua, were waiting patiently. An experience everybody that was there – but especially those in the water are not ready to forget! It made local news, TV and newspapers and even got screened on CBS news, in the United States!
We hereby conclude our trip in the North Coast and start to make our way down South, to the Capital city of New Zealand, Wellington. On the 30th of September, you’ll receive a few production stills of the shooting there!
Until then, keep safe and be happy!
The SEWN Production Team.
