Brief Explanation

This film enters the world of young Dylan, a keen, albeit trepidatious, football player, who with a light tap of the ball, sees his own life take a dramatic shift.

Execution

"I wanted this spot to feel really familiar. I personally identify with the frustrated but proud dad, and the girl reminds me of the really tall girls my friends and I all wanted to dance with at our old 'Blue Light' discos back when I was 13 in the eighties. I hope that people see a lot of what makes Saturdays and being an early New Zealand teen really special and in its own way slightly agonising."
