Eli Hill and Jason Ellis directed Two Idiots and a Tin Whistle, featuring Karen O’Leary, Josh Kamau and Lisette Prende. Hill grew up in Taranaki, where he attended rural primary schools and later Waitara High School. He moved to the Wairarapa to work as a journalist at the Wairarapa Times Age before resigning in November work on creative projects. He met Ellis at the Wellington regional 48hr Film Festival nearly two years ago, and they hit it off straight away. “My mum had given me a CD with supposedly the greatest recorder player in the world on it and it grew from there,” he said.
