One lifetime, two battles

It's 1953 and Briar is a dreamer living with his father in Pukekohe, who sends him to a training farm to be "turned into a man." The plan backfires when his arrival awakens feelings in fellow shearer, Aussie.

Tane is the farm foreman and his Maori heritage sets him apart. Briar and Aussie threaten the walls Tane has built around his own past; walls created in the trenches of WW1. Tane is confronted with a choice. He cannot change history but maybe he can help change Briar's future.

Tane's War follows two protagonists, a teenager and an older man who must come to terms with their true nature. Both struggle to find friendship and to create family as they search for companionship and, hopefully love. In old Europe and rural Auckland there are penalties for any man who deviates from what is considered decent and normal. Trusting others who might harbour the same longings could either doom the men, or free them. But at what cost freedom?

Weir, Brandaniel: - Brendaniel Weir grew up in Auckland. At the age of 16, after inadvertently coming out by taking part in a gay-rights march, he found himself homeless. Auckland's gay community became his surrogate family and he completed a BA in Educational Psychology at Auckland university. Discovering a passion for flying, he trained as a pilot then developed a resource to teach Instructional techniques to pilots. In 1993 he wrote and presented the educational series The Keyboard Teacher which became a music-education tool for a generation of school children in New Zealand and Australia. He has worked in various areas of Film and Television production ever since. ​ In 2015, while lecturing at AUT, Brendan was invited to help create the SameSameButDifferent readers and writers festival. He also facilitates writing seminars as part of Auckland Pride festival. ​ Tane's War was born in 2013 as part of Brendan's Master of Creative Writing thesis, a screenplay for which he received First Class Honours as well as the Postgraduate Writing Award. The novel Tane's War uses the screenplay as its starting point and explores themes of identity, marginalization and family across different decades.
