INC’d Synopsis:
A Maori man enjoying the corporate life he has carved for himself in Sydney returns home for his father’s funeral. Amidst the mourning, a challenge is laid before him.

INC’d is about and a man’s struggle to reconcile his cultural commitments with the expectations of a corporate world.

Ultimately, the depth of his commitment is lost on his colleagues; his Sydney life crumbles. He returns to New Zealand and the lineage which grounds him to the most real place in the world…….Home with his family, his tribe and most importantly, his little girl.

The film was mostly shot in Southland, with an awesome cast and crew. Here are some photos from the filming:
