Residents at The Poynton retirement village in Takapuna were all glammed up as they waited to enter the “theatre” to watch the premiere of The Poynton’s own movie, written and directed by Kitchen manager Wayne Kemp. Wayne, who also starred in the movie as Chicken Man, co-opted the village’s chef as camera man on a borrowed camera, and cajoled residents and staff to take on prop-making and stunt and key acting roles over the three months it took to film. Following the audience into the theatre/cocktail space were the cast and crew (all residents of staff from the Poynton) who were introduced Oscars-style to the throng as they walked the red carpet. Finally, the reveal. After “production delays” (editing and post-production was done in Wayne and other volunteers’ spare time), around 300 residents and staff sat back to watch Cheese Scone - the tale of Chicken Man and the competition for the last cheese scone.
