What an outstanding achievement by these inspired and dedicated indie film makers. Gripping, tense and tender, Northspur explores human nature under pressure, asking the question: how far are you willing to go to protect the ones you love? The acting is exceptional and Marshall Napier's performance is especially riveting. I was also blown away by the kids who did so well in their intense dramatic roles The action sequences are inventive, exciting and impressively brutal. Great writing and the cinematography is beautiful, all shot on location in the Nelson/Malborough region (holy moly, those opening credits), with an awesome cast. All of this works together to make Northspur a gritty, action packed, yet heart warming film!

Cousins
(III) (2021)
Enchanting and Heartbreaking
5 March 2021
Well I just had my heart gently pulled from my chest and handed to me wrapped in tissue. "Cousins" was as enchanting and heartbreaking as I could have hoped. So beautifully directed, intimately and cleverly told, weaving 3 narratives and 3 timelines and somehow never losing a thread. It will stay with me a long while. I loved it.
