What We Do In The Shadows finished its reign of Sundance and Berlin, winning over audiences and critics alike and has now moved on to South By Southwest

What We Do In The Shadows is a vampire mockumentary written, directed and staring Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement and produced by Waititi, Chelsea Winstanley and Emanuel Michael.  It has received post production funding from the NZFC. 

The film was very well received at its world premiere and subsequent screenings in Sundance.  You can read the reviews on their website here

What We Do In The Shadows also had its European premiere in the Generation 14plus competition section of the Berlin International Film Festival (6 – 16 February 2014). Where an entertaining Q and A session upheld the documentary idea and included questions about the risks of working with real vampires, and of bringing them to Berlin.

The film has three screenings in South By Southwest on 8, 11 and 12 March.

International sales are being handled by Wild Bunch.
