Tom's Dairy

14m Short, Family 2013

A poignant but humorous coming of age tale about a young Samoan boy growing up in West Auckland in 1981 - the year space invaders first arrived at the corner dairy. The film explores the innocence of an eleven year old trying to find his place in this changing world at a time when people trusted their neighbours not to nick the milk money and the dairy was almost a marae for the local kids.
