The Way The West Was Won

In 2002, Richard Mason decided to film a sports doco about 3 gliders racing down the west coast of New Zealand from Murawai to Raglan, and back again! This is quite a feat of flying as the terrain varies considerably, from 500' cliffs to low beaches and wide rivermouths. As gliders rely on lift from air currents, this was going to be a real challenge to fly - and to film!

L.B.I.P.P Qualified

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.

Matters Of Substance

Corporate - 'Lui' Ola -Challenge to Live': These two very simple Pacific words and concepts, “Lu’i” meaning to challenge and “Ola” meaning the essence of life, captures succinctly the essence of life both from a Pacific perspective and especially for a disabled Pacific person. It is a term that recognises the everyday challenges people have when there are barriers that impede their ability to have a life. This is especially the case for disabled Pacific peoples and their families, whanau and aiga. The client is Borderless Productions.
