New Zealand's biggest pop stars, including Howard Morrison and Lew Pryme, played themselves in this exuberant musical comedy. Set in Rotorua during a music festival, it celebrates the region's tradition of hospitality, as Morrison takes care of an unemployed and lovesick drummer. During the production, the Morrison whānau ensured that cast and crew were well fed at all times. This extract features product placement from an oil company, one of the film's many commercial sponsors.
