Massey student and documentary filmmaker Norman Zafra is profiled in this week’s ‘Capital Life’ column in Wellington’s Dominion Post newspaper.

Zafra’s documentary, ‘A Friend in Sight’ is a Festival Selection in the upcoming  Documentary Edge Film Festival Wellington screenings in June.

Billed as Australasia’s premiere international documentary festival, the ten-day screen-fest features cutting-edge new documentary films from New Zealand and the world.

Zafra’s film captures a special relationship we don’t normally see on film, the bond between a woman and her seeing-eye dog.

He is pictured at left with Massey University lecturer Dr Radha O’Meara who supervised his work on the film, which was completed as part of his postgraduate assessment in the School of English & Media Studies postgraduate paper ‘Media Practice and Global Culture’.
