Director Statement

I consider myself privileged to be in a unique position to film many of our local Te Tau Ihu (Top of the South) Iwi, out on their own whenua, learning about their own mahinga kai and culturally significant sites. But when I was invited south by Ngāi Tahu to film outside of my own region and capture their story, it was an exciting new opportunity for me.
