The script, which he wrote with his younger brother, was a black comedy about five Otago University students who luck into a squat – a rambling old house, which, if somewhat derelict, offers the distinct advantage of free power. They soon discover that power is fuelling heat lamps for a massive marijuana plantation in the basement. It's all fun, games and parties until the pot's owner comes back looking for his stash.
The film was, of course, Scarfies, an instant classic that, set against a backdrop of sticky-floored pubs and NPC finals, captured New Zealand student culture, and particularly Dunedin student culture, in a way that hadn't been done before and arguably hasn't since.

Jim O'Malley was elected to the Dunedin City Council three years ago and is now one of 14 candidates vying for the mayoral chains as incumbent Dave Cull steps down.
But what makes the sitting councillor's campaign different is that his face can't be found on the back of a bus, on a billboard, or on a flyer.
Fourteen candidates are vying to be Dunedin's next mayor, but the biggest unknown could be the voting system.
Dunedin is one of 11 councils using Single Transferable Vote this year, which requires voters to rank their preferred candidates.

We've hand picked five fabulous locations to showcase a variety of homes, reflecting local design flare and style. The tours are self-driven, and give attendees the opportunity to take in the best scenery the region has to offer, try some quirky cafes or eateries along the way, and also visit our Hub; a one stop shop for all your house tour information and where they can meet the editorial team behind their much-loved magazine.
Together let's explore our way to well-being because when it's strong, our whānau, communities and Aotearoa can flourish too.
