NEWS: TrinityRoots Release Documentry

NZ music is on the big screen and TrinityRoots are centre stage. The film is a documentary which captures the journey of the Wellington band Trinity Roots over a tirade of events, from band rehearsals, touring, recording, performing right to the end where the band decided to call it quits in 2005.

The film also draws on generous footage that reveals compelling interviews with friends, family, critics and other musicians alike. The 70 minute documentary TrinityRoots: Music is choice, has screened in Auckland this week and will follow on to Wellington and Christchurch.

Director Sarah Hunter has been rolling the film on her favourite band for over 6 years and is now bringing it to light at the NZ International Film Festival.

Sarah told the Dominion Post "I think the Wellington screening will be a great occasion because of the fact that TrinityRoots is a Wellington band and was much-loved. I hope that people sit back and enjoy it."

Sarah is a filmmaker and photographer who works in music marketing and promotion. She has worked on music videos and promotes for Fat Freddy's Drop, Dallas Tamaira and Joe Dukie and DJ Fitchie amongst many others.
