Tena koutou katoa,

We are W.H.A.I.O.R.A, one of the senior classes at Homai Campus School. We have been working hard on creating a short film to enter into the Focus on Ability Film Festival 2024. We came up with a plot, wrote the script, choose the music and were involved in all aspects of the process. We wanted to show everyone that we are funny and talented!

We are officially a finalist in the Film Festival and now need your help please!

We need to get as many votes as possible so please help us by sharing this link far and wide! Thank you so much!
