A hilarious new clip featuring the nation’s First Father Clarke Gayford testing Baby Done stars Rose Matafeo and Matthew ‘Longbottom’ Lewis’ parenting knowledge has been unveiled today. From the production house behind Kiwi box office hits Hunt for the Wilderpeople and The Breaker Upperers, Baby Done lands in nationwide cinemas today.
Written by Sophie Henderson and directed by her husband Curtis Vowell, Baby Done follows wannabe-adventurer Zoe (Rose Matafeo) who freaks out when she falls pregnant to her long-term boyfriend Tim (Matthew Lewis). As Tim embraces the prospect of fatherhood, Zoe attempts to rush through her dreams.
The clip shows Gayford throwing a number of curly questions to the unprepared duo, testing their knowledge of Witches Milk and fontanelle, and posing various parenting scenarios.
“There are more manuals on parenting than grains of sand on earth and still nothing captures what it's actually like. I tried my best to make it easy, but it was clear when I met them that these two had no chance to getting any of the answers right,” comments Gayford.
Baby Done was made with investment by The New Zealand Film Commission, Wallace Productions Limited and Department of Post. The film is distributed in New Zealand by Madman and Piki and in Australia by Madman in 2020.
