The Making of Sleeping Dogs (2004)
The Making of Sleeping Dogs is a 2004 documentary movie directed by John Reid, with a running time of 1h 5m. It stars Sam Neill, Roger Donaldson and Don Blakeney.
Director Roger Donaldson's 1977 movie of CK Stead novel Smith's Dream helped spark a new wave of Kiwi cinema. Getting there was a cash-strapped, bare-knuckle ride. In this documentary cast and crew recall a communal film set that was "constantly on the go" as they pulled together drama, car chases, and gun battles using mainly ingenuity.
