American born writer/director Doug Dillaman immigrated to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2004, where he has lived, worked as a film and television editor, and made films ever since. In 2014 his first self-funded feature, JAKE, earned three NZ Film Award nominations. Now, after six and a half years of DIY production at home, he’s back with a film that’s smaller and weirder: GUT INSTINCT.
