Staff Picks: Sarah McMullan

Hey I’m Sarah. I’m a long time film (& book & music) geek which is why my ‘To See’ list for NZIFF is always full of music films, book adaptations and films about ridiculously creative and passionate people that inspire and amaze me. I’m also fascinated by the darker side of life which means horror and psychological thrillers/dramas are always top of my list. So too are a lot of documentaries. Being a film reviewer for Radio New Zealand in my other life you’d think I might get sick of films, but I never do. Instead I just want to watch more, and want to encourage you to see more too! So here are my picks for this year’s NZ International Film Festival. Enjoy. (And remember, there’s a special place in hell for people who talk and check their mobile phones during a movie!!)
