> 
>  As some of you may already know, Brad was diagnosed recently with secondary
> cancer. His doctors have recommended that he take a drug available only
> through the private sector. Although Brad and his family will contribute the
> majority of funds, the treatment is expensive and he will need help, not only
> to afford the medicine but for living expenses while recovering.
> 
>  Choosing to be a filmmaker requires a unique commitment to an art form that
> rarely offers financial security. This is a call from his friends to all who
> work in the film and television industries and anyone who has enjoyed Brad’s
> films to come together and show support for one of New Zealand’s most
> innovative and talented young filmmakers.
> 
>  The evening will start with his award-winning short, Possum. The main event
> is a rare chance to see one of Brad’s favourite films on the big screen:
> Terrence Malick’s mesmerising Badlands (1973, with Martin Sheen and Sissey
> Spacek). This is a newly struck 35mm print in glorious condition.
> 
> Following the films, a special auction will be held featuring rare
> collectables, movie memorabilia and unique opportunities donated by some of
> the leaders in NZ cinema. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity offers you the
> chance to bid on something unique for that special movie buff in your life, as
> well as donating to an incredibly important cause.
