This is a 'Missing' appreciation post.

From the team and the minds that brought us the film 'Searching', comes the new film, 'Missing' - which follows June (Storm Reid) trying to uncover the mystery of her mother's disappearance while on vacation in Colombia. June must try to find her before it is too late and use the technology at hand to try to help her along the way.

'Missing' is out in New Zealand cinemas now. 

#1. At the helm of the film is the powerhouse Storm Reid - who you might've seen in HBO's 'Euphoria' and 'The Last Of Us'.

CDM x NZ On Air = Erny Belle and the 'Venus Is Home' zine.

Over the last couple months, Erny Belle has been piecing together a Coup De Main zine (made with the support of NZ On Air) in celebration of her debut album 'Venus Is Home', and it's now out in the world for you to enjoy!

Included in the zine are letters from her friends and sister, exclusive photographs from the 'Venus Is Home' era, and letters from Erny all about her music career. This zine is designed and created by Erny Belle and Finn Godbolt - featuring writing, collaging, lyrics and more from her.

Interview: Erny Belle on her debut album 'Venus Is Home'.

Home, whether that be the idea of it, or an actual place, is a complicated concept to Erny Belle (a.k.a. Aimee Renata) - and finding it in herself and in the slippery/cracking/crumbling world around her has been taken on as a duty of hers. She has and always will consider The Kaipara to be her home, proclaims 'Venus' as home in the title of her debut album, and describes writing her track 'Gone Fishing' about missing being a child in the home of her grandparents - spending time wondering if she'd ever own a home and have a family. 

An online accompaniment to CDM Zine #19 - Trust Zine.

The theme of this month's DIY zine is 'trust' and we have contributions this month from guest curators: Ella Jane, Girl In Red, Haim, Lukita Maxwell, Lunar Vacation, and Yard Act. 

+ Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio on their heartbreaking new film, 'Aftersun'.

Exclusively for this print zine, each guest curator has put together some pages relating to what forever means to them...

Shooting is underway for Season 2 of 'Severance'.

Adam Scott revealed in an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Season Two of the Apple TV+ show 'Severance' is currently shooting.

Scott shares: "I'm here in New York because I'm working - I'm shooting Season Two of Severance... We have secret scripts and we have to use codewords on email, it is so secret it's crazy and it feels ridiculous, but it's also great that people want to know about it."
