North Bay Film presents: TANNA

TANNA
Directed by: Martin Butler & Bentley Dean
Written by: Martin Butler, Bentley Dean & John Collee
Starring: Marie Wawa & Mungau Dain

Set on a remote Pacific island, covered in rain forest and dominated by an active volcano, this heartfelt story, enacted by the Yakel tribe, tells of a sister's loyalty, a forbidden love affair and the pact between the old ways and the new.

In The Washington Post, Stephanie Merry raves: "The movie is a tremendous accomplishment, especially considering that the cast had never seen cameras before—much less movies—yet still agreed to star in the drama. Their performances are as stunning as the setting, and that’s truly saying something." In The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney calls TANNA "a haunting love story with classic undertones [and] a glimpse into a little-know culture." And in The Guardian, Luke Buckmaster writes: "The Yakel people's passion to tell this story is undoubtedly at the heart of the film's success. TANNA has a warm, shimmering vitality. Like the trees and the birds, the frame feels alive."
