Northland is the star in a new Air New Zealand video being filmed mainly in the Bay of Islands - although a gorgeous blue 1966 Mustang and a young Shortland Street actor also in the video won't go unnoticed. Air NZ makes two of the mini-comedies a year highlighting different aspects of New Zealand's culture, sights and talents; the last one starring hapless funny man Rhys Darby. We can't give much away, but during the first day's filming session the Advocate was invited to yesterday, Shortie actor Jayden Daniels, who plays Curtis, arrived on that movie-land Air NZ flight. Marketing Group chairman Charles Parker said Air New Zealand's safety videos were a global hit, generating a huge volume of international media coverage. The new safety video will be rolled out across the Air NZ fleet before Christmas.
