'WE ALL NEED LOVE' TO SCREEN AT NZIFF

We All Need Love, will play at the NZ international Film Festival in Auckland and Wellington. Paired with the Spanish sex comedy "Kiki, Love to Love" (which has a Pedro Almodovar vibe and an 85% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes).

A short film written and directed by Brendan Donovan, starring Kate Elliott and Mark Ruka, We All Need Love is a semi-erotic, poignant, and surprisingly warm story about trying to connect in the digital age.

Donovan licensed the kiwi classic 'Fiji Baby' by Good Shirt.
