MISSION
whakatakanga
Story has the power to change the world and we tell meaningful stories that are full of truth and emotion.
We believe that challenges lead to the realization of something new. Something new broadens our horizons, and we learn together.
Making films is one of the most challenging pursuits. Full of joy, frustrations and elation.
Filmmakers Don't Make Excuses, They Make Movies.
The core of our team is small and mighty. And we have a wider team of talented experts who we collaborate with.
