The nine wahine Maori writers and directors of “Waru” became the inaugural recipients of Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga Maori Screen Excellence Awards, an award offered to Maori filmmakers whose work makes an impact locally and/or internationally.

I recieved a grant from the NZ Film Commission to attend the Big Screen symposium. So very excited to see Annna Serner, the head of the Swedish Film Institute, speak.
