Be part of a memorable night at the movies with Caterpillar — helping raise funds for Family Works to support local children and families.

Set in an early-2000s Wellington household, this moving New Zealand film follows three generations of women navigating love, ambition, and change. Single mother Maxine strives to fund her filmmaking dreams, teenage daughter Cassie faces the pressures of growing up, and grandmother Huia quietly confronts a dementia diagnosis, retreating into her fascination with monarch butterflies as her world begins to shift.

Directed by Chelsie Preston Crayford, caterpillar is a powerful, female-led story about family, resilience, and learning to adapt when life takes unexpected turns.

Bring your friends, enjoy a great film, and be part of making a difference.

“Each business has a certain budget and we only have so much to give, but many don’t give anything. If everybody gave a little bit, I think we can achieve a lot. If we’ve got a great community – we’ve got a great region.”
