DEGANZ Watchlist: For the Love of Sport & Settling

This week’s DEGANZ Watch List features two sports-focused projects and a brand-new dramedy series, showcasing the work of three DEGANZ members across advertising, documentary and television.

Up first is DEGANZ member Liv McClymont‘s latest ad campaign for 2degrees, focusing on keeping girls in sport by challenging the culture around comments made from the sidelines.

Also in the sports world is fellow member Vea Mafile’o‘s highly anticipated feature documentary LOMU. After premiering at NZIFF as the festival’s centrepiece, the film is hitting cinemas across Aotearoa on 3 Sept. Support local filmmaking and support the cinemas by finding a screening near you.

Last but not least is the new dramedy series Settling, directed by Ghazaleh Gol (DEGANZ), and starring Pax Assadi and Hannah Marshall, with narration from The Office‘s Rainn Wilson. Plenty of laughs to be had as estranged best mates reconnect and reinstate a pact they made to marry each other if they’re still single by 35.

SupportHER Line

Advertising Campaign

Director: Liv McClymont

The 2degrees SupportHER Club is part of our commitment to Fighting for Fair for women and girls in sport at every level. Research shows that sideline support is a key factor in keeping girls playing, so 2degrees has created the SupportHER Line to help fans recognise the line between sideline support that uplifts and behaviour that unintentionally pushes girls out of their game.

LOMU

Feature Documentary

Directors: Vea Mafile’o and Gavin Fitzgerald

LOMU is a complex and nuanced portrait of Jonah Lomu, the most adored son of the Pacific, a legendary All Black, who transcended the game with his immense power and unstoppable determination. More than a sports biography, this documentary is a Pasifika story of identity, faith, collective responsibility and vulnerability behind legend. Jonah Lomu emerges not only as a revolutionary athlete, but as a deeply human figure whose legacy reshaped rugby, expanded representation, and changed who the game belongs to forever.

In NZ cinemas 3 September. Find a screening near you via MadMan.

Settling

Comedy Series

Two disillusioned 30-somethings carry out their teenage pact – a platonic marriage – to satisfy family and societal expectations.
