Ian Mune’s Billy T: Te Movie is a celebration of the life of legendary Kiwi entertainer Billy T James.

The film explores Billy’s extraordinary talent as musician, singer, comedian, actor, writer and artist and even attempts to uncover the source of his trademark giggle.

With humour and love, the film tells of Billy’s meteoric rise to national fame and his tragic downfall into ill-health and financial collapse.

Featuring digitally re-mastered footage of Billy’s performances and never-seen-before archival images, Billy T’s story is set alongside interviews with his family, friends and colleagues.

Billy T: Te Movie is released August 18.
