About the event
A coming-of-age comedy set in the '80s, East Coast, New Zealand. Boy (James Rolleston) is obsessed with Michael Jackson - particularly his dance moves - and his little brother Rocky (Te Aho Eketone-Whitu) possibly possesses 'powers'. The pair are trying to find their potential (and the meaning of the word "potential") while living in the shadow of their larger-than-life dad, Alamein (Waititi). In Boy's eyes, his dad is a hero: a deep-sea diver, war veteran, rugby captain and close relation to Michael Jackson. But in reality Alamein is doing seven years in jail and is a member of the three-man Crazy Horses gang. Now out of the can, Dad returns home and Boy is confronted with the man he thought he remembered. Winner of awards including Best Film, Director, Supporting Actor (Waititi), Screenplay, Cinematography and Editing at the NZ Film Awards 2010.
