Eight connecting moments of seemingly different lives thread together Vai’s journey of empowerment through culture over her lifetime. Beautifully shot over seven Pacific countries, and played by a different indigenous actress in each place, Vai links together a story of family, culture, and at times, isolation. A delicate exploration into the meaning of growth, adaptation, and most notably, a connection to water and home.

Sisters Tia and Ina are far from home. Tia is focused on her work, while the free-spirited Ina just wants to dance.

Opens Looks is a short film told in English and Cook Islands Māori. A story of love, redemption and basketball.
