Waititi wrote the initial script for Moana and his new company, Matewa Media, will work on the Māori version together with Disney Animation Studios.
The casting call says those auditioning must be fluent in te reo Māori and sound as close as possible to Auli’i Cravalho, the actor who voiced the original Moana. Applicants are asked to send in footage of themselves singing ‘How Far I’ll Go’, the film’s hit song.
Production will take place between 24 June and 12 July.
Casting closes on Thursday 15 June.
“Whatever it takes, get yourself on tape and send it in,” Waititi said.
Talk about should never be necessary, but I do have to wish that insulins were available that way. Nope, it’s (totally inappropriate) metformin or nothing. What a surprise, I had to look into options there 😬
I still get such anxiety problems every single time I have to request a prescription through Dodgy Online Consulting Place. That’s been a monthly thing for a while now, and only a couple of times has anything gone wrong. (Including when I had to find a different one a few months back, after the other one had some accreditation problems specifically around pain meds :-|)
Don’t get me wrong, I’m very glad that I found out this is even an option here. But, there is always the potential for problems, and I do resent being placed in a position where my best/only really feasible option for treating several rather serious health issues is to rely on Dodgy Online Consulting.
Thankfully paying out of pocket for pain meds, BCPs for Cramp Hell, and asthma inhalers is not a major barrier now, unlike for too many other people in similar positions. (And drug costs really are way lower baseline than back home.) But, nobody should need to do that. At all.
“Households are being squeezed from both directions, with inflation rising faster than expected and wages rising more slowly. This doesn’t bode well for economic growth – the UK economy is heavily reliant on the consumer and falling real incomes will eventually translate into lower retail sales.”
When society is doing the diagnosing, it’s not offering treatment — it is serving up mental health stigma. People engaging in armchair diagnosis often demonize mentally ill people in the process, assigning negative, dangerous, and hateful behavior to a mental health problem. This suggests that people believe mental illness causes people to be violent, cruel, bigoted, or dangerous, and that simply isn’t the case.
