Mister Organ is a 2022 New Zealand documentary film by David Farrier, focusing on the life of Mister Organ, an enigmatic figure associated with an antiques store and car clamping business in Ponsonby, Auckland, and Farrier's attempts to learn more about his life.

Production

The film is a result of a three-year investigation. Farrier first reported on the story of Bashford Antiques in September 2016, in an article for The Spinoff. As a result of Farrier's original story, the New Zealand Government introduced legislation outlawing excessive clamping fees.

The film was announced by Farrier in his blog in June 2020, originally with the title Clamped. Farrier described the documentary's production as an ordeal, stating that, "It sucked … It fucked me. If I had my time again with this, I guarantee you I would not do it."
