Franz Tormers are a creative collective from Christchurch, their day job is Out of the Blue. We have a selection of their cool limited edition t-shirts and tote bags. Runs of 10 and 20 make these special and hard to get. Franz Tormers concept is to design for some, not everyone.
Hopefully you have seen the 2004 film Kaikohe Demolition by Florian Habicht. If not watch it now. Then go and see the latest film by Florian called Land of the Long White Cloud. We watched it last night and it’s another great doco/film providing a raw insight into a Northland tradition. It’s even better if you like fishing bro.
Tucked away in a small group of shops down Mt Eden Road is I Love Ugly’s new boutique store Broken Puppet. V who runs the brand used to stock us with his tees as a part time gig while he ran the logistics at AS Colour. What began as a thing on the side is now a boutique store that stocks his brand I Love Ugly, and a couple of special ones from far away places like the Netherlands. Check it out, get a limited edition tee and get weird eyes looking at the black & white checkered wall behind the counter. Nice one V & Co.
A great video poem about our odd overuse of “like” and “?” etc. Have never been fans of poems but this is something else.
Since last Friday we have watched this 500 times. We wish it was a full length feature. It had only 2500 views last night, now it has almost 17,000. It should be at the Oscars today… actually its too cool for that.
