Jasmaxs new design direction and Manifesto were launched at a black-tie event at Shed 10 and included the premiere screening of a Jasmax short film, made in collaboration with Exit Films. Staff and their partners from around the country attended the celebration. The event included kapa haka and koauau performances, a live band, a signature cocktail, and some pretty spectacular frocks. Four projection screens used to show the film took centre-stage in Shed 10, forming a mesmerising cube of light which lit up the party from start to finish.
