What a wild year. Produced and directed my first series @tukangatoi for Whakaata Māori. Absolutely faced some challenges but we got there👆🏽Tīhei mauriora 

Big mihi to the artists for sharing your kōrero, time, patience, kāenga, studios, manaakitanga and mātauranga. Ko ngā kōrero rā ka ora tonu hei taonga mō ngā whakatipuranga 🧬 

Nothing but thanks and gratitude to the core crew Seb, Julie, Huhana, Nikau, Hēmi, Gareth and the many hands that helped bring the vision of Tukanga to life. Nā rau ringa i oti ai 🪡 

All eps are on the Māori+ website and app if you haven’t had the chance to watch them yet, can stream it these hols easy peasy 🍋🤏🏽

The next project for Mātahi Media is a reo Māori music album called Kurawai, looking forward to delivering that kaupapa for the people. 

Right now though, the mission is to figure out what a holiday is and then get back to the drawing board to hopefully bring you Tukanga season 2✌🏽

Kia haumaru ngā hararei 🌊 📸 @juliezhuphotography

Earlier this year @tekurudewes asked if I’d shoot an episode of his new doco series TUKANGA, about the processes of art making by ringatoi Māori. How special to travel to Hawai’i with Te Kuru and @nikaugabrielle and film with the beautiful @honebailey 🌿

All eps of @tukangatoi are out now on MĀORI+ and all other eps were filmed by the wonderful @sebcharles whose work I love so much.

✨@tukangatoi Premier✨a beautiful evening sharing 6 of the 8 ‘Tukunga’ episodes with the featured artists + whānau, our reo Māori + art community, at the Silky Otter Cinema! 

‘Tukanga’ takes us BTS into the processes of 8 amazing Toi Māori practices — directed and produced by my darling @tekurudewes. True to his passion Tukanga is 100% reo Māori and through this show we (the artists) were given the opportunity to express our Toi Māori practices in our Native Tongue. 

Big mihi to all the artists involved. Such an incredible kāhui! Thank you for allowing us to into your space, trusting us to represent you on film and sharing the techniques, teachings, kurahuna and stories within each of your unique practices. Very special. 🙏🏽

Hei te mutunga iho ko te reo Māori te tuāpapa o te ao Māori — ngā tikanga me ngā tukanga. Ka mutu, ko taku whainga matua kia haere tahi te reo me te Toi Māori …. me ngā mahi katoa o tā tātou ao!! Kia kaha tātou.
