Our Director pitched @idiotproofmovie to her biggest inspo @taikawaititi! On a plane from AKL to LAX! It was her first time in LA for 10 years, and her first business trip as an independent director/producer - she took it as sign to shoot her shot!

So @taikawaititi if you’re down to hear about a lil indie heist film, hit us up (love u whānau)

When I started Denisse M Vera back in 2013, and for my first few years in business, I was constantly hustling to create enough good content.

Fast forward to now… I somehow have too much great content and often can’t decide what to post.So, thank you Edits for allowing me to throw a whole bunch of our creations into one reel 😝

Does anyone else have this problem? I call it content overwhelm 😂

It’s definitely a first-world problem, and I know I’m very lucky to have it… but I also know I can’t be the only one! 🙋🏽‍♀️

Short films are a true art form - and it takes a special eye to appreciate, unpack and review them.

We’re incredibly grateful to this talented group of filmmakers and industry specialists, who generously dedicated their time to watching and considering 10 exceptional short films.

A huge thank you to our Jury for being part of PIFF ’26 and for helping us celebrate the incredible Pasifika filmmakers behind our films.

Today I’m joined by the multi-talented @vanillaitsvanilla.

From ‘ONEFOUR: Against All Odds’ blitzing the Australian ratings and shaking up Pacific Islander representation, to launching It’s Vanilla Productions and directing her debut feature, ‘Idiot Proof’, this episode’s packed with so much gold (and deliciousness).

You won’t wanna miss it!
