Kiwi born and bred, Jamie has cemented himself as a brilliant storyteller with his extensive commercial experience and filmmaking background. He has ranked in Best Ad’s top 10 Kiwi directors, and received multiple craft awards, including a coveted SHOTS award for his direction on Lotto NZ ‘Imagine on Ice’.
From creatives to clients to cast and crew, Jamie is collaborative, inclusive, and kind. He brings characters to life with impeccable timing and skilfully understated performances, and his work is brimming with scale, craft, and Kiwi charm.
Jamie made his directorial debut at age 6 with a polar-fleece puppet lip-syncing to Enya. Since then, his films have gone on to win notable awards at festivals around the globe. Jamie has two feature films in early development with Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga NZ Film Commission. Cinematic, emotional, and rooted in character, the heart of his work explores the healing power of the natural world, and the fight to feel safe in your own skin.
