ABOUT THE FILM
It is the year 1999. Angus Peterson is a young enterprising nobody living an inner city life when he discovers Beanz, an unreleased song written by an experimental band called Snarf. Motivated to find a position in the music industry, Angus offers to assist Snarf in exposing their music to a wider audience.
With the assistance of his crafty friend DJ Nu, Beanz becomes an overnight success through the channels of radio and mainstream media, resulting in a contract offer from a major record label. This thrusts Angus into the role of Snarfs manager, allowing him to realize his vision for the reluctant duo.
Beanz is a fun, experimental and quirky independent comedy/drama feature film set in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. Shot with a very low budget using low-fidelity DV cameras, It features a cast of characters who help form Angus’s story. Beanz is filmed in Wellington New Zealand and is produced, directed, written and edited by brothers James and Phillip Van der Reyden.
