New Zealand-Samoan director made his film debut with Pasifika-themed comedy 'Red, White and Brass'.

Set during the 2011 Rugby World Cup, the film follows a group of Tongan fans who form a brass band to get in as pre-game entertainment in a bid for tickets to the match between Tonga and France. 

Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says this film manages to be a heart-warming and hilarious crowd-pleaser that captures the energy of Pacific Aotearoa on screen.
