Aroview: A study of loose-ended flatting relations and social paranoia directed by Aro Valley local Colin Hodson.

Improvisational in its treatment and distinctly unsettling in atmosphere, a combination which typifies the other films of its makers Gordon Productions. Shot on DV on the cheap, the central character (played by Hodson) struggles to stabilise his living arrangements, a seemingly simple task made difficult by flatmates, ex-girlfriends and his own passive mentality.
