Gaylene Preston's insightful documentary about writer Keri Hulme was filmed two years after the writer's Booker Prize win for The Bone People.  It is partly a love story to Hulmes hometown of Okarito and a musing on the writer's creative processs.  There are delightful side-trips into whitebaiting and the supernatural as well as a peek into the 1200 pages of notes Hulme has collated in writing her follow-up novel.
