WATCH: Trailer for new Kiwi film 'Red, White & Brass' has just dropped!

Stop what you're doing and watch the trailer for new feel-good kiwi film 'Red, White & Brass' right now! 

From the producers of The Breaker Upperers, Cousins and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Red, White & Brass is the debut feature film for director Damon Fepulea’i who co-wrote with co-producer Halaifonua (Nua) Finau.

Based on a true story, the underdog story follows a community of Tongans who form a brass band as the pre-game entertainment in a desperate attempt to get tickets to the 2011 Rugby World Cup Tonga vs France game.

“The māfana energy in the film is infectious,” says Fepulea’i. “I can’t wait for Kiwis to see this film on 23rd March, and what's possible when you band together for a common goal.” 

Co-Producer Halaifonua (Nua) Finau was in the original band that performed at the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and is excited to see the Tongan community represented authentically on the big screen!

 “Ever since we shot the film my DM’s have been full with people asking when they can see the film,” says Nua. “Kainga, the wait is over! Hope you enjoy this sneak peak!!” 

The film was shot in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington, and will be released in Aotearoa on Thursday, 23 March 2023 before releasing internationally!
