Today I'm joined by Cohen Holloway and Chelsie Preston Crayford as they shed light on the murky depths of their latest drama series, "Dark City: The Cleaner".

Cohen and Chelsie peel back the curtain on their gritty roles, and reveal the reality of on-set trials, from the mental stamina required for intense scenes to the camaraderie that flourishes even in the darkest of narratives. 

Their insights cast a revealing glow on the complexities of navigating New Zealand's film industry, an ecosystem of talent and perseverance shaped by the pandemic's uncertainties and the drive to tell compelling stories despite financial hurdles.

We also reflect on the allure of shared cinematic experiences, now threatened by the rise of digital streaming. The conversation emphasises the vital role audiences play in keeping the spirit of community alive within the arts. When moviegoers champion local narratives and gather in theatres, they uphold a tradition as timeless as storytelling itself, ensuring that the flame of collective imagination continues to burn bright.
