*FILM IS NOW LIVE - LINK IN BIO 🤓🎥🐘 In the studio with @whosaubrie for three awesome days of craft & collaboration. Hadn’t played with my mate James Goodfellow in over two decades, and delighted to have Jonny Kofoed and James Hayday adding to this project remotely too. Such a fulfilling experience, with close friends. @bigfan_nz

We made a thing! 🤓🎥🐘 This is true: Circus Elephants used to graze the sand dunes of Avalon Beach. This film observes the Elephants as they explore the beach, swim in the surf, and interact with migrating Whales. This was created in collaboration with the wonderful Geoff Searl at the Avalon Beach Historical Society, and incredible cinematographer @timseaton2107 along with the amazing @llewg my Executive Producer at @mofa.tv_
 @whosaubrie not only Produced, Engineered, Mixed & Mastered our cover of @bryanferry_roxymusic ‘Avalon’, she also managed not to laugh out loud when I said I wanted to sing with her. We recorded at the incredible facility @bigfan_nz founded by @iamjoellittle & @iamgemmalittle with my close friends @jonnykofoed & James Goodfellow adding guitars & sax. An eternal echo of thankyouthankyouthankyous to Ashely Page @page1management for his incredible nurturing of talent, and fantastic way of connecting the right people. Special thanks to @helenabrooks & Max Morrison for their support, patience & love. More gratefulness to @jessoir_stanley & @rossgstanley, @mattyboylawson & @fbwelsh. This will play @avalonfilmfestival The single & film will be released online shortly after.

Don’t piss off those who can pour concrete. Always bring a predator helmet to a recce. 👽🎥🔥

🚁🎥🔥 Why film with a drone, when you can fit a helicopter?

Manaia: The southern maunga of Ngāpuhi. Standing at the summit between earth and sky I realised that all falling rain, is just hikers sweat. 🥵

‘Road’ tripping. Topping up my accent, my culture and the Wagoneer.

Eighteen years!!! @helenabrooks is the sunshine I needed - as evidenced by the first photo. 😂🥰❤️
