TV Series - 'Carters Gone Fishin' - TV3:
Nixon Pictures is now into the 8th year with Graeme Sinclair of 'Carters 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 are currently filming the next season now.

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. This project is currently in pre-production.

Documentary - 'Matters of Substance - The Project':
Earlier in 2009, the tiny rural communty of Kakahi, near Taumuranui, had 12 new families move in and the media went into a frenzy for all the wrong reasons! This was short lived as the 12 Mongrel Mob members and their families were there purely as volunteers to take part in the rehabilitation programme held at the Salvation Army outdoor camp. Leaders in the Notorious Chapter have been seeking ways in which they can support their own whanau in moving from a life of crime and addiction, and make a contribution to society. This documentary is about how gang members can take responsibilty for their own transformation.
