Good Intentions

About This Movie

Good Intentions is this intriguing short from Peter Wells that serves as a quirky slice of New Zealand life. It’s part of that Channel Four 'Postcard' series, which adds an interesting layer of context. The film dances between documentary and narrative, showcasing Richard, a third-place winner of Mr Gay Auckland, as he discusses his costume while posing in Wells's 'Gay Lynn' garden. The pacing feels relaxed, almost conversational, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere. There's this honesty in Richard’s performance that resonates, and the casual yet intimate setting of the garden adds a unique touch. It's distinct for how it captures a moment in time, blending personal storytelling with cultural commentary.
