April 2009 Yo!!!



Yep, I still exist!!

Haha, and I'm still studying at University in Dunedin - full time, in the final year of a two year Masters in Natural History Filmmaking. Have had some epic surf lately too - also, cousin Tom just finished his mini-ramp - quite possibly the best 3ft half-pipe I've ever skated - yew, shot Tommy! Man the past 12 months have been amazing - lot's of learning, research, and networking with some really influential people. Been getting into stills photography heaps too (hence the image above - T-Bay, West Coast, homeland chea!)

Currently co-producing a 24-minute doco. It's looking to be epic, and act as a catalyst for the Aotearoa Youth Revolution. Also writing a thesis in 'how media for public benefit could flourish in the NZ corporate environment' - intent on driving positive social and environmental change.

Looking to make another surf film in 2010 with some serious new gear - Red (Scarlet) cams with water housing - 120 fps - i.e, the most bullshit quality imagery around....

Our production company Splashroom Media Ltd :: www.splashroom.co.nz was the second most successful business on campus in the 2008 year - quite a feat considering we only launched in September 2008 and have all been studying full time since...

Exciting times!
