Such a privilege to work on an ad for Moccona—a brand with one of the most iconic taglines of all time. “Moccona heft mere mmmm” is something we all remember growing up, so I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to bring a new story to life for them.

Huge thanks to @mattmaydesign and HAVAS NZ for bringing me on board, @masonbennettdp for the stunning cinematography, the incredibly talented @sheldonrua_ for the beautiful poetry, and our amazing actors @soui_sun and @oz.ob.fitz , who brought so much heart to this piece.

I think I’ve found my new favourite genre. ✨💛

Can you hear it?
Nau mai

Ki Aotearoa

✨✨✨✨

I’m so stoked to finally share what we’ve been working on for the past 12 months with our friends at Tourism New Zealand! Over 38 shoot days across four blocks, we captured every stunning region of NZ. Hundreds of hours of footage distilled into this 2.5-minute hype reel, featuring a beautiful poem written and narrated by the talented Sheldon Rua. Sheldon’s piece truly gives this commercial its soul.

A massive thank you to the incredible team at Reel Factory and Tourism NZ for trusting me with this dream project. It was truly a dream job with the most amazing crew.
