Larry Parr (director)

Parr was an associate producer on Sleeping Dogs[1] (1977; Roger Donaldson, director), which provided Sam Neill his first major role in a feature film.

New Zealand actors Ian Mune and Don Selwyn were also featured; Donna Akersten, Dorothy McKegg, and Davina Whitehouse also had roles.

Stewart Main and Annie Collins were assistant editors; Geoff Murphy was the "Special FX Director."

Funding for the film came in part from The Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council, as well as Broadbank Corporation,[2] where Don Brash was General Manager.

In the 2018 Queen's Birthday Honours, Parr was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to film and television.
