trackrecord
I have on-set lighting-technician experience on large Netflix productions, Sweet Tooth and The Royal Treatment, Amazon's The Rings of Power and many advertisements and music videos. My gateway to the film industry was as a runner, production coordinator and chauffeur. In 2021, I competed in one of four teams on the popular WarnerBros Discovery reality TV show The Block NZ - 2021, eventually winning the competition alongside my best mate, Arthur. Additionally, I have also directed multiple small-scale commercials and music video productions.
