The last competition we ran got such a great response, we thought we'd run another. Because giving you things gives us joy. Joy.

This September past we had the wonderful filmmaker Lynn Shelton on the show. Thanks to Madman Entertainment, we have a DVD set featuring three of Lynn's films: Humpday, Your Sister's Sister and Touchy Feely. But that's not all! In that particular episode of Hyphenates, we reviewed the brilliantly funny New Zealand horror-comedy What We Do In The Shadows, and because Madman is so great, they're also throwing that into the mix. We know. You're like, “But that's too much great stuff in one single competition!”, but we're all about pleasure overload here at Hi4H HQ.

DVDs

To win the set, simply answer the following question:

In the September 2014 episode of Hell Is For Hyphenates, Lynn Shelton mentions the name of a film that is “absolutely in my top five list of films ever”. Which film is it and who directed it?

To enter, send your answer to co*********@he*****************.com by midnight on December 31 2014 AEST. All correct answers will be put into a gigantic electronic sorting machine or possibly a hat, and the winning entry will be drawn at random. The winner will then be notified by email.
