The
Qantas Film & Television Awards are one of the biggest ceremonies honouring the New Zealand film industry. This year from The Tribe cast alumni we follow
Miriama Smith and
Beth Allen have both received nominations.
Miriama Smith
Miriama has been nominated for ‘Best Performance by a Supporting Actress’ for her role as Grace Gallagher in Kaitangata Twitch, which was broadcast on Maori TV.
I’m suprised she did not receive a nomination for her role in the controversial TV movie Stolen : The Baby Kahu Story, which she was fantastic in, but I’m guessing it’s because it was broadcast after/near the deadline of nomination dates.
Beth Allen
Beth has received a nomination in the ‘New Idea People’s Choice’ category. The winner of this award will be chosen by the people of New Zealand. Beth has been nominated for her role as Dr. Brooke Freeman in Shortland Street.
If you live in New Zealand please do vote for Beth by texting A to 4369 (texts cost 20 cents each). That’s A for Awesome Allen! Beth is up against Robyn Malcolm in this category. Robyn Malcolm is fabulous but we don’t want Lex’s bootcamp leader Ma’am to win, we want Beth to win! ;D
The winners will be announced at the award ceremony at the Civic Theatre in Auckland on Saturday 18 September. We wish them both the best of luck. Well whoever wins, no matter what, it all comes down to what you wear on the night. Choose those frocks wisely ladies! Continue reading…
This week
Miriama Smith starred in
Stolen : The Baby Kahu Story as Donna Hall. Stolen was a feature length TV movie based on the real life kidnapping of a baby, at gunpoint, and held for ransom for $3 Million NZD.
Here are a few video clips of Miriama Smith in her performance of Donna Hall:
I think Miriama’s performance was definitely powerful…
Stolen, by South Pacific Pictures, aired on TV3 in New Zealand on Wednesday July 28th 2010.
[This post has been back dated]
Miriama Smith will be heading the cast in the true life drama
Stolen where she is playing Donna Hall, the mother of a kidnapped baby…
In 2002 in Wellington, New Zealand, the news about the kidnapped baby Kahu gripped the nation. The baby was snatched at gunpoint. The search to find the baby sparked a police manhunt to retrieve the kidnap baby Kahu. Stolen follows the story of what happened as it happened. You can read more about the real life event that happened, and the screen version, at Dan News.
Stolen, the telefeature/TV movie, has been produced by South Pacific Pictures, more info about it and pictures of Miriama Smith in the role of Donna Hall can be found on their website here. Stolen will premiere on TV3 in New Zealand on Wednesday July 28th at 8.30pm.
Miriama Smith played Moz in The Tribe series 3.
Miriama Smith (Moz in The Tribe 3) landed a role in indie movie
Netherwood. In the movie she plays the charcter Maria. The feature film was shot in March this year and is currently going through post-production now, for release in Summer 2011.
You can find out more about the movie on it’s official blog and follow them on Twitter. The site features a profile on Miriama Smith (see image below).
The film also stars Owen Black (Stanley) and Will Hall (Mex), known to Shortland Street viewers a Ethan Pierce and Dr. Kip Denton. Cristobal Araus Lobos directed Netherwood (he also directed Curry Munchers) and John Argall wrote it.
Looking great, as always, Miriama Smith (who was the sexy ‘PVC clad’ Moz in The Tribe series 3) did a grand job in her role as Du Chaillu in Legend Of The Seeker. Check out the video clip below of her introducing herself to the ‘Seeker’ Richard Rahl (played by Craig Horner)…
In episode 8 of season 2, titled ‘Light’, Miriama played a prisoner who was released by the Seeker. She was later captured by a group of monsters who could turn themselves invisible… As you can see in the clip below… 
Don’t worry though, she survived… The episode was broadcast in America on Saturday 16th January 2010.
Miriama’s appearance as Du Chaillu in ‘Light’ (episode 8 of season 2) completes a threesome of former Tribe cast members to appear in the series. Meryl Cassie (The Tribe’s Ebony) appeared as Bella the courtesan in episode 7 ‘Resurrection’ and prior to that Dwayne Cameron (The Tribe’s Bray) starred in episode 6 ‘Fury’ as the character Kur.
With the series filmed in New Zealand and a further 14 episodes left of season 2 to be broadcast, let’s home more Tribe cast members turn up. Or maybe more will be cast in Legend Of The Seeker season 3, if it is greenlit…
Word on the street is that Miriama Smith will be featuring in season 2 of Legend Of The Seeker in the guest role of Du Chaillu in episode 8 entitled “Light”, the news is confirmed in her presenter biography on Jason & Laird.
Lets hope she doesn’t meet a sticky end like Jacob Tomuri did in his on screen appearance in season 1 of Seeker. With Dwayne Cameron also landing a role in the second season, this may just be a ‘must watch series’ for me!
Alot of The Tribe cast have been doing some charity work, it’s been hard keeping track, but here’s a run down of the latest causes cast member have been supporting…

Check the video out for ‘Thank You For The Love’ below, it’s sort of a behind-the-scenes/recording the song music video. (The video starts 10 seconds in!)
