Overview

On March 30th I returned home from photographing every single square kilometre around the entire world.

But if you already know me, this won't surprise you.

I have a track record of internationally recognised media, bring communities together with grassroots art projects and a typically un-Kiwi motivation to put myself out there.

I believe in myself and these ideas but today I humbly ask you for your help.

If you believe in me too or maybe have just enjoyed some of my projects, please consider contributing to my latest endeavour, "Kiwi Food" my first feature film.

I plan to shoot this in the coming months with a 78 page script I've already written and including the World's first visual circumnavigation that I've just shot.

I am a product of the internet's creative wild west but I see my creativity as more worthwhile, I hope you see me that way and are willing to invest into that potential!

After also being asked this question many times I have figured out that custard squares and meat pies are the iconic kiwi food

30% MILESTONE!

Kia ora! I'm super pumped to have made it this far with the crowdfunding, it's a pretty daunting process to be honest but it means a lot to have so many early contributors.

In the past few days since beginning the funding drive, we have completed our first teaser poster. I'm interested to hear what you think of it and what it communicates about the film to you!

I'm still trawling through all the images from the "World's First Visual Circumnavigation", there's about 40'000 and I'm 3/4 through. Here's a funny one I found yesterday, located in rural Estonia (look at the graffiti on the door).

A lot of people have asked me what "Kiwi Food" means and it's a great question! Being asked overseas, "what is a traditional New Zealand dish", always encapsulated my cultural anxieties. I could never answer the question and it made me reflect I don’t really understand what my cultural inheritance is. So I tried to live in my ancestral country but I didn’t feel Dutch, so what side of the globe did I belong on? These are the themes explored in the film.

For those committed enough to engage on the Boosted page, I want to reward your loyalty with a little sneak peak of the Kiwi Food script:

Thanks for reading and if you're intending to contribute but just waiting around (to be honest I do that all the time), please contribute now! It'll put me a lot more at ease and get the gears of this film moving. I'm excited to share more with you!

Thanks so much for your support :^)
