Showreel – Production Design and Art Direction

Film

In 1995 I became involved in the film and TV industry, production designing and art directing for TV shows, TV commercials, music videos and drama. I worked for film houses in New Zealand, England, Finland, Sweden and the USA.

Film and production houses include; Film Construction, Silverscreen, Motion Pictures, Amino Films, Gibson Group, Cloud 9 and Fat Films in New Zealand; In Europe I worked with; Also Starring Productions, Elo Hopea Films, Contrast Films, Filmi Talli Productions and Buenos Dias Productions.

Since I started my professional career, I have designed over 20 productions for the film industry. This has enabled me to work, and have my work seen worldwide.
