Paxifica’s latest project has been a collaboration with Linda Savage of the Waiheke Theatre Company in the writing of the screenplay, Still Making Waves (Working Title), a warm-heated, drama-comedy. The screenplay now completed, we are into the next stage of the process, seeking out a producer to take the film to production.
During the writing of the script we have been fortunate to have Dr. Russell Campbell work with us as Script Consultant, and we are grateful for his generous and valuable support. Russell is an Adjunct Professor of Film at Victoria University of Wellington/Te Herenga Waka, a documentary filmmaker and a prolific author; his more recent book, Investigating Simenon: Patriarchy, Sex and Politics in the Fiction, was published by McFarland in 2022. Russell also founded the film journal The Velvet Light Trap in the United States, and is a former editor of the New Zealand magazine Illusions.
