ATLFT Synopsis

A Tall Long Faced Tale is a 70 minute documentary produced by ProductionShed.TV for  TVNZ‘s Artsville slot. Margaret, a highly private individual would never allow for a biographical documentary to be done. However, when long time friend Yvonne Mackay, asked Margaret whether she’d be interviewed by her characters, the cheeky and eccentric author couldn’t resist. In this 70 minute documentary Margaret is interviewed by her most iconic and exciting animated characters, The Witch in the Cherry Tree, Mother Pirate, and Mahy-expert and author Elizabeth Knox. Together they get to the heart of Margaret’s creative work and philosophy.
