When Bryan Iguchi lands in New Zealand for a one-day heli shoot, the snow gods listen. Chris Maunsell & Vaughan Brookfield captured an all-time day on the Clarks Glacier shooting motion & stills of the 2026 Iguchi Range for Volcom. Blower powder, bluebird conditions, and the kind of terrain that makes New Zealand one of the best snowboard filming destinations in the world.

When the vibes say go but the legs say no! Or more precisely... "is it Sauna time yet?"
Here's a little campaign which plays on the human truth of the dreaded leg burn, brought to life for Cardrona Alpine Resort, NZ & - New Zealand's biggest ski resort - ahead of winter '26.

As always, thanks to the .newzealand team for trusting in the vision. And to the talented crew who brought the it to life. Swipe on through to catch a few LOLS.

Another massive week on the road, chasing the 2026 lineup around our backyard. It takes an amazing crew to rig, fly, and drive this production. Big love to the team for making it happen. Keep your eyes peeled for the TVCs & digital content dropping soon.

A year of big days, long drives, early starts, and very good people. We travelled far and wide across the motu, made work we’re proud of, and were lucky to end up back home in Wānaka. Ending the year the right way, with the people who make it all happen. Grateful for the places, the projects, and the very best office around. Thanks to everyone who jumped in, backed us, and made it all possible. Meri Kirihimete from Beards, see you lot in 2026 ✹

We love it when a brief lands that reminds us why we do this.

Tourism New Zealand’s Business Events team needed a film to promote our world class event centres and we were lucky enough to help shape it.
Architecture, performance, kaimoana, big rooms, intimate moments
 this one gave us plenty to play with. And that’s the kind of work we lean into.

Big thanks to TBWA, TNZ and every legend on set for making it hum.

Global Business Events crew - come see what’s possible in our backyard.
