Rūrangi is a 2020 New Zealand LGBT-related independent drama film directed by Max Currie. The queer and trans-positive drama was written by Cole Meyers and Oliver Page. It stars Elz Carrad in his feature film debut, along with Arlo Green, Kirk Torrance, Awhina-Rose Ashby, Aroha Rawson, Renee Sheridan and Ramon Te Wake.

Production notes

The project was initially planned to be a five-part web series, but was later edited together into a feature film. 59% of the cast and crew on the production are non-binary, and all trans characters are played by trans actors. The producers and director consulted with an advisory panel of trans people from the trans community for the film, who also had veto power over the production.

Writer Cole Meyers, who is gender diverse, said that the majority of what you see portrayed in the media in relation to transgender people is "filtered through or created by cis people’s understandings of our lives" which results in a biased view of "always seeing ourselves through other people's eyes".

In an interview with GQ Australia, director Max Currie said he was sort of apprehensive about signing on with the project, because of the condition that all trans characters be played by trans actors. He was concerned that they wouldn't be able to fill all the designated trans roles with actors who had extensive film experience.

Both director Max Currie and lead actor Elz Carrad appeared in RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under season 1, Carrad as a guest judge and Currie as a member of the show's Pit Crew.
