- Description
In November 1990 loner David Gray (played by Matthew Sunderland) killed 13 of his neighbours in the town of Aramoana, near Dunedin. His rampage lasted 22 hours before he was gunned down by police. Out of the Blue is a dramatised reenactment of those traumatic events. Directed by Rob Sarkies and co-written with Graeme Tetley, the film did respectable box office and won most of its categories at the 2008 Qantas Film and TV Awards, including Best Film and Screenplay.
