Taika has finished shooting The Inbetweeners and now he’s at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. He wouldn’t miss that while in the Uniteds, would he? Director of the Festival, Trevor Groth placed him on his list of 10 best new filmmakers. This is what he said about Taika,
Director: Taika Waititi, EAGLE VS SHARK (2007)
“Instead of making us laugh at the antics of Lily and Jarrod, we laugh with them. Pulling off this kind of balance would be a real challenge for any filmmaker, and first-timer Waititi lives up to it with great skill. Even for all its outrageous moments, the film maintains a captivating level of depth that is missing from most others produced under the same limiting genre classifications.”
