What an excellent year 2025 has been so far. Reconnecting with industry stalwarts far and wide. I've also been speaking at various institutions, and as part of that, I have showcased some of the talented people I've had the privilege of working with back in the United Kingdom.

What a top-notch bunch.

What a blast creating a 2'45" promo for Hidden Experience. A busy shoot with a tight three-week turnaround from concept to delivery. A Singapore/Aotearoa collaboration, filming in Canterbury (Screen Canterbury NZ), Aoraki, Tekapo, Rakaia, Christchurch Central and Redcliffes. What a great backdrop to a fun project. Using Christchurch as a substitute for Singapore in one story segment worked extremely well.

Aided by great talent (Peata Panaho and Maihora Rangihaeata) and our incredible crew, we took a big swing. Looks like another home run for our client. Thank you all.

Yes, now is your chance to catch our wonderful short 'Peninsula' at the NZ international Film Festival in Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Gore. Up before 'Gagarine' which looks fantastic.

A soon-to-be-demolished social housing estate, named after Yuri Gagarin, in the Parisian banlieue provides the earthly anchor for weightless flights of fancy in this wondrous and moving debut feature.
