Manaiakalani Film Festival - Give It A Go!

During Term 3, 2022 I worked with 9 wonderful singers, songwriters, videographers, directors and editors.

I am very proud to tell you all, that with a little guidance and support from me, these gifted tauira created this song and music video and did the hard yards themselves.

Our song is about the importance of stepping up, putting your self in an uncomfortable space and having a jolly good go.

I'm happy to tell you that that's exactly what these tauira did and they have jointly modelled exactly what their creativity speaks to.

Well done Team, I'm extremely proud of you all!

  3. Kia ora superstars! Mr Hughes here...

    You guys are incredible songwriters, and your message is something that I think is really important for students (and teachers!) to learn. We all need to give it a go! I hope you keep writing more beautiful music. Maybe I'll have to get your autographs before you become global megastars!

  10. Hi PES Super Troopers, my name is Zaria and I love your movie. This is such a good video, the best part about it is the song, which is about the importance of stepping up, putting your self in an uncomfortable space and having a jolly good go.

    Thank you for bringing me along to this one! I did not expect to like it half as much as I did. I enjoyed your movie very much and I can’t wait to see what you come up for next year!

    That was a really good movie, I was not expecting it to be that good, and I’m so glad I took the time to see this.

    Thank you for bringing me along to see the best movie I’ve seen in a long time! I can’t believe how it ended. I definitely wouldn’t have seen something like that without you, and I would have regretted that!

    Kindest Regards
    From: Zaria <3
