Pretty Cool People Interviews are short and sweet 7-minute interviews. See them all at:

We met Taikia Waititi at the 2007 Film Festival Rotterdam, where he presented his first feature film, 'Eagle vs Shark' - an offbeat romantic comedy featuring two socially inept misfits. The soft spoken and romantic Lily, who works the counter at a fastfood chain, has a secret crush on Jarrod, a tough looking geek/hero wannabe who works at the local electronics store. Jarrod doesn't show any interest in Lily at first. But then Lily beats everyone at a Fightman Kill-A-Thon video game tournament at a costume party at Jarrod's house. 'Eagle Vs Shark' is a sensitive film, made with a great eye for detail and respect for the characters. Taika's New Zealand style humor - comedy mixed with tragedy and pain is refreshing.

Interview by Alexander Oey.

  • One of my favorite films ever~ great interviews - thanks!

  • Brilliant director! Eagle vs Shark is a great movie. So are all of Taika's other movies too!

  • I love this guy. Flight of the Conchords is awesome and Eagle vs. Shark was so good -- so weird, too, and I relish in weird.

    The girl, Lily, was cuter than a button. The core thing is just so fitting with her character. She's adorable in the movie, watch it !
