    • _ _ EMMY Award for RURANGI
      Aotearoa-made TV series Rūrangi has received international recognition, winning an International Emmy Award for Best Short-Form Series.

      The five-episode New Zealand series, tells the story of trans activist Caz Davis (Elz Carrad), who returns to his small conservative Northland home town of Rūrangi after being away for 10 years. In that time Davis has transitioned, and returns to the fictional town to reconnect with his estranged father.

      The cast includes Āwhina Rose Henare Ashby, Kirk Torrance and Ramon Te Wake, to name a few. 10 members of the 24-strong cast identify as gender-diverse, with all trans characters being performed by trans actors. It was created by Oliver Page and Cole Meyers.

      RURANGI debuted at the NZ International Film Festival in July 2020, and was viewed internationally in San Francisco in September of the same year, winning the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature.

      It’s also been shown at the BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival, the Melbourne Queer Film Festival and the Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival and several other.
