We Were Dangerous is a brand-new Kiwi film about girlhood, rebellion and violence – but it has friendship at its heart.

Although the story is fictional, it comes at a time that makes you feel it could have been plucked right from the history books.

It follows a misfit trio of Nellie, Daisy, and Lou, determined to rally against the system in 1950’s New Zealand. 

The film won the Special Jury Prize at SXSW this year and made its premiere at the Auckland launch of the New Zealand International Film Festival.

Erana James and Nathalie Morris, Nellie and Lou, joined Jack Tame for a chat about the making of the film, the story it follows, and the success it has found.

Joel Little has worked with some of the biggest names in the music business. 

The Grammy Award-winning musician has written and produced tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Khalid, and of course, our very own Lorde – the place where it all began.  

But even amid all his fame and success, he’s remained humble and down to Earth – and his latest project only exemplifies that. 

‘BIG FAN’ is a not-for-profit music space located in Morningside, offering recording studios and a live music venue with the aim of supporting the wealth of musical talent in New Zealand.  

Little told Jack Tame the whole idea was to build a place of a world-class standard, to give a little bit back to the music industry that’s been so good to him over the years. 

“If someone else was in my position and I was watching them, I would kind of hope that they would do something similar.” 

“I didn’t get where I am by just like... all on my own,” Little said. 

“I had people along the way kind of say the right things or give me opportunities ... and that’s kind of what we want BIG FAN to be for people.”

The passing of one of New Zealand’s most well-loved entertainers has hit the country hard.

Like many other Kiwis, Kevin Milne was devastated to hear of her passing, and he has a theory as to why so many are hit hard by the news.
