A game of chicken gone awry has won the annual 48 Hours Film competition.
The film Chicken made by a team from Hamilton named Nuggets was handpicked by Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh as a wildcard for the final.
They were then crowned champions at the Grand Finals Event at the Embassy in Wellington last weekend.
The competition has some 500 teams enter each year and they get 48 hours to write, shoot and cut a film using a genre as well as some random elements.
The film stars Arohanui Watene and Tyla Tuala as the two stars and the crew behind the scenes include Nopera Watene and Valerie Lui. Prizes for winning the competition include a $20,000 prize.
Two of the team, Arohanui and Nopera Watene, speak to Kathryn.
