An aspiring novelist finds inspiration gurgling down the drain when his unconventional muse, a tropical fish, goes missing in this darkly absurd romp through the mean-ish streets of Auckland’s inner suburbs. Leroy (Emilio Mancilla) is battling to get his debut novel completed, struggling through a bout of writer’s block while house sitting for a friend. He finds his creative breakthrough in the eyes of the iridescent fish, Kirby, that has been left in his care, who seems to have unlocked something in Leroy’s mind. Before he can take full advantage of his maritime muse, the writer wakes to find Kirby missing, presumably fish-napped. This kicks off a comic odyssey through the underbelly of Auckland’s rare fish black market and the cruel vagaries of the local literary scene. Joined in his quest by Charlie (Romy Hooper), an unstable nautical private eye, Leroy is pushed well out of his comfort zone as he confronts a series of kooks and misfits in search of his psychic fish. Part crime caper, part screwball comedy, Notes from a Fish delights in making its hapless characters run the gauntlet of truly unfortunate events. Directors Tom Levesque and Romy Hooper each make distinct contributions – Levesque brings the paranoid obsession of his earlier feature Shut Eye, while Hooper provides deft comic chops in front of and behind the camera. — Adrian Hatwell COME EARLY!
