So good, right? It's so well-constructed... and no, it's not a plea to do my thing. I'm a film buff, and that's why I screened all those movies. They're what Cameron Slater used to call Mental Health Breaks. Plus I'm aware that people outside of New Zealand are interested in my antics, so hence I added some public interest things like those RNZ documentaries. - I'm sick of making small movies. The Dakumentary has given me a taste of big movies, and Shipwrecked 2030 seems like the logical thing to do, given that I referenced it in the Dakumentary (and cut the Tina reference because I was sick of being asked about that). I've got other ideas though: I really think we should try to pitch a satire show to Three or TVNZ. That would be cool, and might be a way of hiring some of those journos that have been playing along with my ideas. Plus my short stories. There's plenty to discuss with an agent/manager.

To the British Museum etc.

Harry says you have the treaties that Māori signed with other nations (including Africa). It's amazing how much info you acquired from us... taboo, mana etc.
