Producer/Director duo Hattie Adams and Ryan Bradley met at the New Zealand Broadcasting School and have been collaborating on creative and corporate projects ever since. After graduating the pair have gained experience in multiple areas in the film and tv industry, working for a range of companies including Netflix, Warner Bros, NBC Universal, Sky TV, Greenstone, Kevin & Co and Kura Productions.
It's been a pleasure working alongside the bilingual duo Aro. Their incredible music has always inspired our storytelling. We take a lot of pride in our culture and have enjoyed an opportunity to represent it on screen, which is something we are aiming to continue to do in our careers.
