Mark Hadlow and Jed Brophy stand-off in this trickily plotted thriller about a service station owner who rashly appropriates a stash of stolen drug money.

This twisty real-time thriller from Stefen Harris (The Waimate Conspiracy, NZIFF06) was nimbly staged and shot on an iPhone entirely within and around a Motueka petrol station in the wee small hours of the morning.

Masterclass DOP Johan Dijkstra

”As a new generation cinematographer with a television background I’ve learned to work fast and efficient and to be multidisciplinary when needed. I’ve grown up in the digital ages in which everything was possible. This made me innovative and pushes me to constantly search for new, creative and inspiring ways of storytelling through my lens.”

The kick off of Point of U happened through a competition with Samsung, in which Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were the curators. Twenty young content creators were immersed in the world of smartphone videography. Or also: young people, supported by a series of workshops, make a (short) film with a smartphone.
