Majestical Lager

Garage Project have released a New Zealand lager, brewed specially to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Canterbury malts and a blend of Motueka and Nectaron hops create a crisp golden beer, with easy bitterness and a soft stone fruit character.

Pretty majestical, aye?

Official Soundtrack - Special 10th Anniversary Vinyl Release

Impressed is proud to present the Official Soundtrack from the Motion Picture, Taika Waititi’s ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’.

This is the first time the soundtrack has been pressed to vinyl, and lands in time for the film’s 10th anniversary.

The score was composed by Moniker, a New Zealand music project rooted in psychedelic pop and soundtrack composition, originating from Wellington. While there are multiple artists who go by the name Moniker worldwide, the New Zealand incarnation refers specifically to the trio of Luke Buda, Samuel Flynn Scott, and Conrad Wedde, who have multiple composed scores for films and television – and this, for Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople, was their most notable.

Two rebels. One million hectares of untamed wilderness. The hunt is on.

Ricky (Julian Dennison) is a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run with his grumpy foster uncle (Sam Neill) in the wild New Zealand bush. A national manhunt ensues and the two are forced to put aside their differences and work together to survive in this hilarious and heart-felt adventure.

Violence, coarse language, some scenes may disturb | Runtime: 97mins
