DIRECTOR’S NOTES - Michael Reihana “Since Little Gold Cowboy was my first film to direct I wanted it to be a fun experience for all involved. I made it with a group of ten people, friends that I had worked with previously, who all did multiple jobs on the film."

New Zealand Production

Short 2003 Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Comedy 12.00 minutes

Michael Reihana's first film is a metaphorical tale of the search for true love by a flamboyant Gold Cowboy. It was selected for the Venice Film Festival, the New Zealand Film Festivals, and the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. The unexpected arrival of a strange letter propels the cowboy on a quest to find his soulmate, or what he imagines as his true love. Unfortunately when detached hearts are left guarded by a mere goldfish, the future doesn't always turn out in one's favour.
