Eight’s feature length documentary film about the life of Dame Valerie Adams has received a funding offer from the New Zealand Film Commission and is now in production via The Story Department.
Directed by Briar March (above left) and produced by Leanne Pooley, the film follows Dame Valerie’s journey to her fifth and final Olympic Games. The film will honour Dame Valerie (above right) as a woman who has not just survived a challenging past, but taken strength from her often difficult journey and turned it into greatness.
Due for theatrical release in 2022, Eight has received additional brand funding for the project via local and international brand partners.
