When @bryaniguchi lands in New Zealand for a one-day heli shoot, the snow gods listen. @chrismaunsell & @vaughanbrookfield captured an all-time day on the Clarks Glacier shooting motion & stills of the 2026 Iguchi Range for @volcom. Blower powder, bluebird conditions, and the kind of terrain that makes New Zealand one of the best snowboard filming destinations in the world.

Another massive week on the road, chasing the @hyundainz 2026 lineup around our backyard. It takes an amazing crew to rig, fly, and drive this production. Big love to the team for making it happen. Keep your eyes peeled for the TVCs & digital content dropping soon.
We’re incredibly proud of all of Aotearoa’s Winter Olympic and Paralympic athletes representing New Zealand in Milan.
Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to work alongside many of these legends in the mountains we call home.
Recently, we had the privilege of producing content for the powerful Paralympics campaign “We’ll Give You Something To Talk About” for @saatchinz - now live.
We’re right behind you Adam & Corey!

A year of big days, long drives, early starts, and very good people. We travelled far and wide across the motu, made work we’re proud of, and were lucky to end up back home in Wānaka. Ending the year the right way, with the people who make it all happen. Grateful for the places, the projects, and the very best office around. Thanks to everyone who jumped in, backed us, and made it all possible. Meri Kirihimete from Beards, see you lot in 2026 ✨

We love it when a brief lands that reminds us why we do this.
Tourism New Zealand’s Business Events team needed a film to promote our world class event centres and we were lucky enough to help shape it.
Architecture, performance, kaimoana, big rooms, intimate moments… this one gave us plenty to play with. And that’s the kind of work we lean into.
Big thanks to TBWA, TNZ and every legend on set for making it hum.
Global Business Events crew - come see what’s possible in our backyard.

Earlier this year we got to work with Mr Li Xian. We’re not 100% sure, but he might be the most stylish stargazer to ever grace the golden hills of the Mackenzie Country.
Check out the spot below and let us know what you think.
Huge thanks to the China creative team for trusting us to support in creating your vision, to @tourism_nz for the partnership, and to all the local crew who helped bring this one to life.

As a company whose niche is film production in the great outdoors, you could say mother nature is our canvas, and when an opportunity arises to show her some love, we’re all in!
Earlier in the year, we teamed up with Brand and Butter and WAI Wānaka to bring their Upper Clutha Water Cycle story to life, to show how every drop connects whenua, clouds, rivers, lakes and us.
This video is an invitation to see, understand, and protect the water systems that sustain all of us. From mountain tops to lake shores, water never stops moving, and neither should our care.
