EHW —

We would like to congratulate SBHS Old Boy – Cole Yeoman, has been nominated for two categories in the Oscar-qualifying Doc Edge Film Festival. ‘The Milford Road’ is up for the Best NZ Short Film category as well as the Best Student Documentary.

Producer Cole Yeoman made the film as a project in his second year at New Zealand Broadcasting School (NZBS). The 13-minute documentary follows the unique road crew that maintain State Highway 94 between Milford Sound and Te Anau. Yeoman filmed the crew over several days as they worked in vehicles and helicopters, revealing a story of the daily challenges of avalanches, rockfalls, volatile weather, and extreme remoteness among the powerful beauty of Fiordland.
