Produced with financial assistance from Creative NZ’s Screen Innovation Production Fund and Co-Produced by Belmont Productions and Porter Pictures. Super8man explores the world of an amateur filmmaker through cine instruction. With camera poised to capture the ultimate shot of a bird in flight his focus literally, remains on infinity.

Located on the isolated north-east point of the south island, Cape Campbell introduced Porter to New Zealand artist and maverick modernist, Len Lye. As a young boy he lived there for a short time, the wild landscape is said to have nurtured his passion for capturing movement.
