Women in Film and Television (WIFT) celebrated another Kiwi success story last night; Sunshine Cleaning - directed by our own Christine Jeffs (Rain, Sylvia).

This off-beat dramatic comedy tells the story of two sisters who rebuild their bond by starting a crime-scene-clean-up company. The stellar cast includes Amy Adams, Emily Blunt and Alan Arkin.

Christine Jeffs enjoyed a drink with the audience at Park Road before introducing Stroke, a short she made in 1993. Following the feature screening, Christine answered audience questions about her experience as a filmmaker and her up-and-coming projects.

Sunshine Cleaning was met with critical acclaim at Sundance in 2008 and has proved very successful in the states. The film releases in New Zealand on August the 6th.
Many thanks to WIFT for organizing the event.
