Storyline
1877, New Zealand. Half-Maori half-English Anahera Smith and her younger sister trek across gorgeous New Zealand landscape. They’re investigating the disappearance of a treasure, stolen from their tribe. They have many encounters on their travels, and finally, they discover that a mighty rangatira (chief) has the treasure, and has become cursed by it. A powerful atua (spirit) is trapped inside it and has possessed the warrior. The two sisters must find a way to not only survive against the awesome chief, but outwit the demon inside the treasure, and restore it to their people.
The directors and writer will stay in Los Angeles between October 30th and November 4th.

Sash Nixon
Flash As Productions | Director and Writer
I have been making films since 2003. A graduate of The University of Waikato, New Zealand, I majored in Screen and Media Studies. In 2011 my film “Star Wars Hunter” won Best Acting at San Diego Comic Con 2011 for the official Star Wars Challenge. And in 2017, a film I was heavily involved with – The Anniversary – from Writing, Producing and Acting – won Tropfest New Zealand. I am interested in telling New Zealand stories in a number of film genres.
