Daffodils
Daffodils is a feature film version of Rochelle Bright’s award-winning Kiwi stage musical. Grammy Award-winning singer Kimbra makes her big screen debut, alongside actors Rose McIver (iZombie, The Lovely Bones) and George Mason (Go Girls). Released in March 2019, the bittersweet musical is based on the true story of a Waikato couple’s romance in the 60s, and the pop-rock soundtrack that shaped their lives. The love story features re-imaginings of iconic songs from Crowded House, The Exponents and more. Daffodils is helmed by director David Stubbs (Belief: The Possession of Janet Moses).
When I first saw Daffodils the play I thought it was a piece of work so beautiful, so powerful and so inherently cinematic, that I knew this was an endeavour I could pour my heart and soul into.
