by Costa Botes and Peter Jackson
The Greatest film hoax
since the invention of
motion pictures
For Peter Jackson's fifth film he collaborated with Costa Botes to make this mocumentary on the supposed founder of the New Zealand film industry, Colin McKenzie. In the documentary, the man was shown to have experimented with colour, developed sound, and also constructed the mobile camera, when it was all just an elaborate scam.
It is a hilarious look at the film industry in a documentary style that has many reputable people like Sam Neill, Harvey Weinstien, Leonard Maltin. It even has Peter Jackson himself, supported the evidence.
When it was screened in New Zealand, it managed to fool half the population, thus being one of Jackson's favourite triumphs.
