Initially this project was named IMEX -Indigenous New Zealand Music Expo. But eventually the client decided to change it to Sounds Aotearoa.
This project included a powerpoint and a video presentation to secure funding for the said event.

Antarctica: A Year On Ice
Literally the coolest project I’ve ever been involved with. It’s a documentary about how it’s like to live in Antarctica for a year. I was in awe when I first saw the rough cut, the imagery was like those you see in Discovery Channel. Breathtaking landscapes, amazing time-lapse footages and an awesome story. Just phenomenal! The film is part of 2013 New Zealand International Film Festival. Written and Directed by Antony Powell. Though my role in this documentary may not that be big, I am just so honored to be part of such a wonderful film!
I was responsible for the Opening billboard and the graphics.
The film has garnered several recognition internationally.
Audience choice award best adventure reel. Breckenridge Film Festival
Best Documentary. Calgary International Film Festival.
Documentary: Best first feature film. Calgary International Film Festival.
How cool is that!
Pun intended 🙂
