Hamish is an authentic storyteller and facilitator, creating environments where people feel safe and respected to share their own stories in front of a camera. With an natural ability to put people at ease, Hamish has become a trusted interviewer to direct and film numerous stories across Aotearoa. He has invested a lot of time building trust and understanding his responsibilities to become a faithful kaitiaki of another’s kōrero.

Since starting his company in 2012, Hamish has enjoyed extensive experience as a senior editor, camera operator and director. From the outset he made a commitment to engage in ethical storytelling. Letting the truth speak for itself instead of crafting his own version to sensationalise or push a predetermined story agle. This approach has seen him work in documentary, commercial and music videos, short films, around the world. He has a keen interest in science and environmental documentary and had many adventures around the world to document important scientific research on land and underwater. He has spent the last few years, at the helm of Frank Productions, curating stories that provide opportunities for organisations to reach their audiences.
