Notes: | written by Lucy O'Brien and Ralph McCubbin-Howell | |||||
Synopsis: | The 'hangout' - a ten-tonne truck outfitted as the home of the Happy Healthy mascot, Griswald the Manatee - is the venue for the black comedy, Who's Neat? You! which is based on the makers' experiences of childhood health education programmes in New Zealand. The creators of Who's Neat? You! hope that their unusual venue and subversion of nineties nostalgia will get people talking about the positive and negative effects of contemporary attitudes towards childhood education, particularly the message that 'you can be anything, as long as you work hard enough'. "We began with a sense of nostalgia," reveals director Alex Lodge, "then we took it somewhere a little darker, and asked ourselves, 'what would happen if it all went wrong?'" | |||||
