Manaiakalani Film Festival

Today November the 7th we went on a great adventure to Te Ahu to watch some other schools movies and ours, with 8 Te Kauru students. When we got there we got to walk on a red carpet. when I was walking on it I felt like I was the master movie maker. When we got in there I was really nervous but really exited. It was so fun. My two favourite films were the trespasser and making friends.
