NZ film Tinā set for US release after Rialto Distribution acquires global rights
The global rights to New Zealand film Tinā have been acquired by Rialto Distribution, with a United States theatrical release date set for next month.
One of the most successful local productions to date, Tinā – which was written, co-produced and directed by New Zealand-Samoan filmmaker Miki Magasiva – will begin screening in US cinemas from August 29.
Rialto Distribution will then prepare the film for international release once it's rolled out in the US.
'Tinā is a rare gem – brimming with authenticity, rhythm and emotional power,' said Kelly Rogers, Rialto's managing director, in a statement to Deadline.
'We're incredibly proud to champion this uniquely Pasifika story and deliver it to global audiences hungry for heartfelt, original cinema.'

Jo Randerson's secret art powers revealed!
author interview books about 1 hour ago Artist Jo Randerson calls them Secret Art Powers. Superpowers that everyone, individually and collectively, has access to. These are the powers that artists use daily, but might help us all navigate complex, changing times. They are to be found in Jo Randerson's just released book Secret Art Powers: How Creative Thinking Can Achieve Radical Change. I's a book for everyone. Indeed - an endorser Bret Mckenzie describes it as a "miraculous book that feels like an escape hatch for humanity." Published by Barbarian, the company Randerson founded back in 2001, Randerson doesn't profess to have all the secrets, but they come with great qualifications to write this. A published poet and playwright, curator, and a performance director and actor, Jo became an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit back in 2021, and won the Topp Prize for embodying the wildcard spirit of the Topp Twins in 2023. And that radical wildcard spirit joins Culture 101's Mark Amery to reveal her secret powers.
