The New Zealand Falcon is more endangered than the Kiwi bird!

LIFE NZ
Life NZ was my 9-5 for almost 5 years. In that time with the creative video production team I directed, produced and shot over 50 documentaries and creative video promotions.

The Loyal Workshop - Kolkata
The Loyal Workshop was founded to provide an opportunity for freedom through their leather products. Modern day slavery is a phenomenon they are not prepared to be apathetic about. They believe that business can be a tool to bring freedom to those trapped in slavery and it was an honour to partner with them in Kolkata, India, using my skillset in still imagery and videography.

I was able to film two promotional videos showcasing what opportunities MEF has to offer visitors as well as a short documentary, telling the story of the foundation and what they are working towards.
