Director Paul Oremland describes his most recent film as a 'labour of love'.
And little wonder.
His second feature 'Mysterious Ways' has been on the road to the silver screen for more than a decade.
At it's core, it's a love story about a gay Pākehā vicar and his young Pasifika lover, and what's unleashed when they want to be married in the church.
Set in Auckland and shot on a shoestring budget, it could have tipped over at any moment were it not for Paul's passion, and the cast's belief in the project. Currently playing in theatres in Auckland, the film will be making its way to Wellington next week.
