This short film, Money Honey, feels particularly timely given the current economic hardships many people are experiencing. The narrative focuses on children who discover twenty dollars, offering a child’s perspective on serious issues like poverty and financial instability. It's impressive how much it accomplishes; the acting is strong, the cinematography is well-done, the editing flows smoothly, and the story itself is compelling. I think this is an important story to share, particularly with students studying sociology in higher education. The film also manages to capture a genuine sense of New Zealand culture. It rightfully won the first Ngā Whanaunga Māori Pasifika Shorts Best Film Award, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else this director creates.
