See you at the movies! - SUZY'S STAR IS RISING

Everyone’s favourite TV mum, Suzy Cato, tears up when she reflects upon the joy-filled experience of being part of Red, White and Brass, a local film blowing into cinemas on March 23.

“The film’s crew had already been together for months by the time I arrived on set, but immediately they made me feel like part of the family,” recalls Suzy. “The main difficulty for me was not crying because when I’d envisage all my cherubs coming onto the grounds at the end of the film... Ooh, I’m going to cry now – good grief, talk about method acting, but I get so emotional just thinking about it.”

This endearing underdog tale is based on a remarkable true story about a community of Tongan rugby fans who form a brass band in the hope of providing the pre-match entertainment ahead of the sold-out 2011 Rugby World Cup Tonga vs France game – in spite of none of the wannabe members having any brass-instrument experience.

From the producers of cinematic classics The Breaker Upperers and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Red White and Brass sees Suzy play Liz, a music teacher who finds herself training this passionate group of super-fans as they strive to become a fully-fledged band, with just weeks to pull it off.
