‘Red, White & Brass’: First Trailer For Piki Films’ Underdog Story From Exec Producers Taika Waititi, Carthew Neal & Ainsley Gardiner
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Red, White & Brass is the debut feature from director Damon Fepulea’i and we’ve got the first trailer for the Taika Waititi-exec produced inspiring underdog tale.
Check it out above. Based on a true story, the film follows a community of passionate Tongans led by Maka, a superfan who will do whatever it takes to get tickets to the Tonga vs France 2011 Rugby World Cup game – even if that means promising to deliver a brass band for the pre-match entertainment.
The only problem is, the band doesn’t exist and Maka has four weeks to create one. The cast includes John-Paul Foliaki (Popstars), Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi (Panthers), Ilaisaane Green (Brutal Lives), Onetoto Ikavuka, Mikey Falesiu (Toke), Lupeti Finau, Lotima Pome’e (Under the Vines) and Haanz Fa’avae-Jackson (Savage).
Fepulea’i co-wrote the script with co-producer Halaifonua (Nua) Finau. The film hails from the producers behind such New Zealand-produced features as The Breaker Upperers, Cousins and the Waititi-directed award-winning Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Red, White & Brass is produced by Waititi’s Piki Films alongside Miss Conception.
