Was the Dakumentary misleading?

Well, if it was, I've cleared up all those questions by now, and it's mostly searchable on this blog. Regarding the Parliament TV footage, I've been messing with those for a while, and the Chloefilm was an extended experiment, which I followed up on with the Jacinda and Debbie films (alongside the samples of Grant and Nanaia). I might chuck The Sweater into the Dak film. - The documentary itself isn't misleading. Chloe and I are never in the same room or same space (though we have met for real), and people presumed Dakta and Gary were gay, so clearly people are morons. 🤣


If I was brown, people wouldn't have reacted the same way. I do feel like I face prejudice for being white occasionally due to the music that I write, which is hip and 'with it'.


The best thing about the torch songs is that they're unrequited love songs, so I think that's also remarkably consistent within the world of the Dak film.

I consider my music and VFX as enhancing the footage; with the alcohol bill, I thought it was particularly apropos, while I only had Premiere Rush for the Marama and Debbie films, which are mostly just different colour grade presets.
