I like the spirit of life in New Zealand – thanks for providing this video!
Simply incredible! I loved the technical aspects too: the editing, the cinematography. The spirit of New Zealand is truly commendable. Any other works of Aya Tanimure that I could see?
Very entertaining, loved the ending. Great acting, camera work was great as well. I can see why this was a finalist.

I just loved the old lady! She reminds me of my grand mom. A good film! Hard to find such films! Worth entering in the final round.
It would be interesting to watch the results of this unusual task!

Hi, This blog has just told me that no matter what i write as a comment, it is headed directly for the trash if I use our Do Follow web site in the website box.
That is too bad. I know that you wouldn’t do that on principle, that is throw a neighbor in the trash site unseen. But, Akismet thinks nothing of it.
So, I am going to write a comment without the website box filled in.
If you approve the comment, would you please place the webiste name in the website box.
http:www dot ToysPeriod dot com.
Then you can come on over to ToysPeriod for a backlink or many backlinks.
ToysPeriod is a Do Follow site. And, they would never dream of throwing your comment in the trash site unseen as Akismet does.

I have to agree that some of the most beautiful and unspoiled places in the world can be found in Australia and New Zealand.
Being an American, I once applied to emigrate to New Zealand, and was refused entrance.
To this day, I envy citizens of those two countries.
Thanks you for sharing the beautiful photos, and telling a story of two beautiful lands of which I have long been aware.
Warm regards,
Dr. Ann

This is a great short film and really does capture the feeling of New Zealand. It is a great idea to pair off the grannies with the grandsons. The film quickly passes but captures your attention from start to finish. Sweet As!!!

I totally agree with the other commenters. They did something difference even it’s just with a short film.
I actually watched the whole video. I find the story very interesting. Come to think of it, not all people can appreciate the beauty of places within their own country. Were in fact, it’s much better than any other places around the world.
People tend to go outside their place because they think that sceneries in other places are much better than anything else. However, most of the time we need to open our eyes to see the beauty of the place where we are living.
