We have just completed our fourth series of It’s in the Bag for Maori Television and it’s screening from April -July 2012. If you want to follow the series go to our bag website www.itsinthebag.co.nz
Another highlight thus far also include the ANZAC night premiere documentary “Requiem for Charlie” directed and written by Tainui Stephens. This powerful and at times uncomfortable documentary tells some of the story of decorated Maori Battalion soldier Charlie Shelford. We thank the whanau and friends of Charlie for their honesty in bringing this story to the screen. And we extend our respect to all of the crew who worked so hard to ensure the dramatic recreations as well as the interviews were of a very high standard. Aku mihi nui ki a koutou.

Highlights of 2011 !

- Screening of The Scotsman and the Maori. A documentary made for MTS and shot on the canon 5D. The results were outstanding thanks to Kerry Brown (co-director) who flew from London to be part of our shoot. We love you KB! And DOP Simon Baumfield who is a magician with a camera. The documentary followed the wonderful Dame Anne Salmond and her equally gorgeous daughter Dr Amiria Salmond as the retraced the journey of their tipuna James McDonald. James McDonald was one of New Zealand’s earliest photographers and filmmakers who captured incredible images of Maori life some 100 years ago. He mihi nui me te aroha hoki ki te whanau katoa.
