Director Taika Waititi started developing BOY soon after finishing his award-winning short Two Cars, One Night. It first emerged as a film called Choice and was accepted into the Sundance Writer's Lab in 2005, where Taika workshopped it with script writers Frank Pierson (Dog Day Afternoon), Susan Shilliday (Legends of the Fall), David Benioff (Troy) and Noami Foner (Running On Empty). Instead of making BOY his first film, Waititi went on to make Eagle vs Shark and continued to develop the screenplay over the next 3 years.

Boy - Taika Waititi's blockbuster second movie centres on an imaginative 11-year-old East Coast boy (James Rolleston) trying to make sense of his world — and the return of his just-out-of-jail dad (Waititi). Intended as a "painful comedy of growing up", Boy mixes poignancy with Waititi's trademark whimsy and visual inventiveness. The film was shot in the Bay of Plenty area where he partly grew up. A winner at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival, Boy soon became the most successful Kiwi film on its home soil (at least until the arrival of Waititi's 2016 hit Hunt for the Wilderpeople). James Rolleston writes about acting in Boy here.
