The Fade Up 2 is a powerful, youth-led film created by five Ōtorohanga College students in partnership with professional filmmakers, He Koniahi Story Circle. The students were involved in every part of the process – developing the concept, asking the questions, filming and editing.

The film proves big conversations can start in small towns. It explores identity, expectations and what it means to dream big when you’re from a small town or rural area. The students are Blair Edwards, Karla Davey, Nicole Jones, Robert Markey Jones and Marua Davis.
