Run is a short film about the growth and resilience of a brother and sister’s relationship. Eight-year-old Tom and Georgie, 12, are Samoan and live in a conservative beach-side town in New Zealand during the late seventies with their widowed father. They learn that together, they have the strength to stand up to their grieving father who rules their home with fear.

Run was awarded an Honourable Mention at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
