It`s such a small industry here you inevitably end up working with the same people over and over again. There are only so many actors to go around, which is good for us.
It was always something I knew I was capable of and from an early age my mother was involved in the film industry. She used to work at a production company. So I was exposed to a renaissance period of films in New Zealand back in the early 80`s.
I`ll need every ounce that I have to drive it through. Film and TV require that energy. Sometimes fight scenes can be pretty intense. When I was shooting "Heaven" it was truly guerrilla film-making.
Now I`m this far up the ladder and I`ve got so much farther to go with what I want to achieve with it.
