TV Series - 'Gone Fishin' - TV3:
Nixon Pictures is now into the 8th year with Graeme Sinclair of 'Gone Fishin'. This is New Zealand's longest running fishing series ever, being in it's 18th 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 have just returned from filming in Western Australia for the next series commencing in September.

We have just returned from Western Australia on a 2-week Gone Fishin' shoot. The team visited Perth, Exmouth and Broome.

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 - 'All Blacks At War - The First XIII':
The 13 All Blacks who lost their lives in WWI no longer have a voice to tell their tale of what it was like to grow up in a new country on the brink of war. Now they can have that voice - through this film. We'll delve back into the early 1900's and examine each man, his personality, his rugby career and ultimately, the price he eventually paid for his King and country. Presented and narrated by a former All Black, we will take a trip back through time and into the present with a return to each battlefield by our film crew.

Documentary:
A documentary still to be titled is currently in production. Filmed over late 2009 and early to mid 2010 around various NZ locations, Producer Rachel Stace and Director John Hagen of E2 Productions are examining a very serious problem that homeowners are facing. If you enjoy Michael Moore's (Dir - Bowling for Columbine) documentaries, then you will want to see this investigative-style film. Broadcast date will be post July 2010.
