Amanda Tito: Chris Warner’s sixth wedding and the Shortland Street cliffhanger
From RNZ - All Programmes · 00:12:57
Show by RNZ
Chris Warner is getting married again, for the sixth time, and Amanda Tito is directing it. She tells Perlina this year's Shortland Street cliffhanger had so much material that she and the editor worked more than a week past her contract trying to fit it all in. In the end they pitched a longer episode. Amanda calls it beautiful chaos: a wedding with a bombing and a hostage situation thrown in, and some long-awaited reunions, including Yvonne Jeffries and Gina Rossi-Dodds. She explains why the show is still a masterclass for the people who work on it. She also talks about the messages that pour in from around the world about Maeve and Crane; Maeve is played by her partner, Jess Sayer. And she reveals how she gets a cast to dance in silence, with a UE Boom and some very silly moves of her own.
