Paul Nevison

Paul Nevison’s Old Boys will be his first narrative feature film which tells the true story of a ragtag team of rural working class immigrants and locals who in 1962, defied class prejudice and personal demons to win New Zealand’s most prestigious soccer prize, the Chatham Cup, against elite city rivals. Paul’s dad was part of this unlikely winning team, and he’s heard about their incredible exploits his whole life. This will be an underdog story filled with humour and heart that audiences will love.
