Starmart 'Hungry' starring Jemaine Clement

Directed by Adam Strange, this commercial is part of a hilarious campaign for Startmart that tracks the progress of a group of young surfers on a summer road trip in their faithful station wagon, Big Val. Written by the hilarious Glenn Wood and art directed by Carl Van Weyk, the commercials were a huge success in New Zealand until the Starmart parent company in Singapore saw them and thought the young heros and heroines were too 'drug addict' looking and pulled them off air??!!??
