THUNDERLIPS is an identity forged over a decade of creating ambitious music videos on tiny budgets - and winning a bunch of awards and Vimeo Staff Picks. They’ve also made ads for Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand) and other clients - but their true love has always been movies, they love being on set with their friends, making and sharing artwork, facilitating a safe and empowering environment for everyone in the cast and crew to shine. A collaborative friendship propels THUNDERLIPS to apply their doubled emotion and intellect to writing scripts that feature unforgettable characters, sublime narratives and joyfully bombastic climaxes, movies that humans want to watch again and again and again, preferably in the cinema. Their greatest writing achievement to date is making it to the second round of the Sundance Lab selection process with their previous screenplay Golden Years. THUNDERLIPS (JORDAN WINDSOR) - Writer/Director Jordan grew up in a cult watching the original Star Wars trilogy over and over on VHS. In late teens he escaped, fell-in with cinephiles and had his mind blown by Abbas Kiarostami and Claire Denis. Jordan was an assistant editor on a Narnia movie and a makeup artist on a Roland Emmerich movie while writing and directing his own juvenilia, before conjoining with his friend Sean in 2012 and becoming THUNDERLIPS. THUNDERLIPS (SEAN WALLACE) - Director Sean was raised by his grandmother on 80s action and sci-fi movies. Total Recall, Hellraiser and The Blues Brothers were all on high-rotation. He studied art in university and lived in Japan for a year watching gangster and monster movies, then moved to Auckland to go to film school. He shot and directed short films and music videos by himself for some years before banding together with Jordan in 2012 to become THUNDERLIPS.
