Ehara tākau toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini. - My strength is not as an individual, but as a collective.
I thrive working in a team to bring creativity and quality storytelling to moving pictures. I have a passion for content creation, as well as a thirst for the intricacies of television and film.
Those that know me, describe me as proactive, hard worker and a forward thinker. I began a videography business at 16yrs old, using my skills to help others. Although a challenge, I learnt to be professional and work with a diverse range of clients.
Personally, I thrive on constant learning. I soak up new skills easily and enjoy delivering quality work with integrity.
I would very much appreciate the opportunity to intern with you and believe I would be a pleasant and diligent addition to your team.

I had the amazing opportunity to vision switch three live shows for What Now at WhiteBait Media. This was a fantastic experience for me and gave me a taste of what a real live to air show feels like.
Music Video: Outside Kids (Director)
'Outside Kinda Kids' is a song by Sam Heselwood that I directed a music video for. This was a great experience as I got to help out producing and editing which allowed me to diversify my skills.

Mahi is a documentary made by myself and Hemi Baker. It is about the pro wrestling scene in Christchurch and gives a behind the scenes look into the people that are keeping the magic alive.

Throughout both of my years at Broadcasting School I put my skills to the test, taking every opportunity I could to create graphics and test my VFX knowledge.
Studio Show: MetroNews (Vision Switcher)
This is the result of an idea that I suggested this year for MetroNews, putting a 360 camera in the control room. This edited version shows Myself, the screens, and the final product during a show!
Short Film: The Cookie Jar (Writer/Director)
'The Cookie Jar' was a comedy short film written and directed by myself. This film was made during the snap lockdown in 2021 so access to talent, gear and crew was limited.
Web Mini-Series: Feelings (Editor)
'Feelings' was a mini web series, created by myself in conjunction with Journalism and Radio students. The series unpacks the music from famous films and their emotions.
Jamie Media Production (Freelance)
