TV Series - 'Gone Fishin' - TV3:
Nixon Pictures is now into the 10th year with Graeme Sinclair of 'Gone Fishin'. This is New Zealand's longest running television series ever, being in it's 19th year of production. While sometimes the fish don't always receive the script, it still enjoys the excitement, characters and the locations spread between NZ, Australia, the Pacific Islands and everywhere in between.

We just got back from the Northern Territory and Western Australia filming flying - fishing film shoot in April/May. It was great time to play with some GoPro HD2's....

Documentary making is our passion. Be it a personal ambition or part of someone else's desire to tell the world their story - we will listen, shoot and give it all the attention it deserves.

Documentary - 'A Rotten Shame' TV1: (2011 AFTA awards finalist)

The doco examined the biggest problem that homeowners have ever had to face in New Zealand - leaky homes. Direct all enquiries to HOBANZ. "Devastatingly laid out... just when you thought the engaging, hard-hitting primetime documentary was as dead as public service television... Excellent if terrifying television." The New Zealand Listener magazine
