Had a great night with a fantastic turn out for our Cast and Crew screening for my 2 short films, Yellow Roses and A Matter of Time. Thank you all for making it happen.

A Matter of Time has been selected to screen at the Sydney film festival. The film is a confronting and dynamic film following five teenagers as they juggle school while trying to cope with their own personal hardships. It is screening on Thursday the 13th June and Sat the 15th of June at Dendy Newton Theatre.

There are laughs coming to TVNZ OnDemand with new series: I DATE Rejects. Featuring a young Māori and Polynesian cast navigating their way through the complicated job of finding love, this series will both add to the diversity on screen and continue developing new creative talent.

The nine wahine Maori writers and directors of “Waru” became the inaugural recipients of Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga Maori Screen Excellence Awards, an award offered to Maori filmmakers whose work makes an impact locally and/or internationally.

I recieved a grant from the NZ Film Commission to attend the Big Screen symposium. So very excited to see Annna Serner, the head of the Swedish Film Institute, speak.
