Brilliant Waitemata: Auckland-based Waitemata Film Co. links with Sydney-based Brilliant Films
Auckland-based Waitemata Film Company has announced a trans-Tasman partnership with Sydney-based Brilliant Films.
Waitemata, known primarily as a performance-based film company, have added five Brilliant directors to the roster, enabling them to pitch on a broader range of scripts that now includes fashion, food, beautiful models, fast cars and real people.
The partnership boosts the rosters of both companies. “We’re excited to be able to offer these amazing directors to NZ agencies. Our roster is stronger than ever and our directors now cover the whole gamut of scripts out there,” says Waitemata EP Johnny Blick.
The five directors are:
Henry Mason: Henry is a talented chap. His work sweeps the spectrum from those big epic ads with lots of people banding together to small-scale real people spots with gorgeous photography and brilliant performances. Regularly shooting in urban locations, he makes the mundane magnificent.
Christopher Ferguson: Chris often shoots those Gen Y ads with really, really good looking people doing cool stuff to cool music in cool places like Arizona, L.A, New York and…Sydney.
Eden Diebel: Eden tells stories with clarity, simplicity and humour. Sometimes they’re big stories, sometimes intimate; either way the idea is paramount, the photography striking and there’s usually a touch of the unexpected.
Lee Rogers: Lee shoots fashion and cars (mostly). His fashion spots usually feature top international supermodels, while his car spots usually don’t. Although he’d like to shoot that script one day.
Brendan Young: Brendan shoots drama, drawing remarkable performances from real people (a bloody hard thing to do) and creating memorable narrative spots with a fresh visual aesthetic. Funnily enough, he also shoots lovely food.
These five join Waitemata’s established roster of Mike Oldershaw, Jamie Campbell, Mick Connolly and Paolo Rotondo.
