The Project

Through the Wire is a student led sports documentary inspired by the incredible journey of Brooke and Siaosi Tuatao. From humble beginnings to becoming influencers in the fitness world, this film captures their struggles, sacrifices, and unshakable faith in God, the foundation that’s carried them every step of the way. Their passion is contagious, inspiring others to push beyond their own limits, not just physically but spiritually.

We’re raising funds to cover essential production costs, including catering for our hardworking crew, film equipment to capture every moment with cinematic quality. This would also help support both talented individuals who will be on screen and the dedicated team bringing this story to life. With your help, we can share Brooke and Siaosi’s powerful story with the world.

The Team

We’re a team of three final year university students. This includes Joel, Nate, and Joseph, all passionate storytellers and filmmakers. Our creative practice blends documentary filmmaking with a heart for inspiring others through real, faith driven stories.

Joel – Producer
Joel thrives on organisation and coordination, managing everything from schedules and budgets to communication between crew, talent, and locations. His focus ensures the production stays on track and runs smoothly from start to finish.

Nate – Director
Nate is the creative heartbeat of the project. With a sharp eye for storytelling and a deep understanding of emotional connection, he shapes the film’s vision. He guides the performances, and ensures Brooke and Siaosi’s journey is told with authenticity and has impact.

Joseph – Cinematographer
Joseph is the visual architect of Through the Wire. Using his skills in camera operation, lighting, and shot composition, he crafts powerful, cinematic imagery that captures the spirit, resilience, and faith at the heart of the Tuataos’ story.

Together, we aim to create Through the Wire not just as a film, but as a message of perseverance, faith, and hope and with your support.

The Details

Through the Wire is a sports documentary capturing the real journey of Brooke and Siaosi Tuatao,  two athletes whose stories need to be shared as leaders in the fitness world.

As a crew of passionate sports people, this story is personal to us. Nate trains at one of their gyms and has witnessed the impact they have on everyone around them. We want to capture that influence and share it beyond the gym walls, inspiring others to push past limits, on the field and in life.

This will be a three-day shoot where we interview Brooke and Siaosi and capture any additional messages they want to share for this masterpiece. This is our final-year project, and your support will help us film it with the quality, heart, and authenticity it deserves.

The Impact

Through the Wire tells more than just a sports story, it’s a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of perseverance. Brooke and Siaosi’s journey shows how discipline and belief can transform lives, inspiring people to push past physical and spiritual challenges.

This film has the power to uplift communities and all those in the sports word who face hardships.  Encouraging them to hold on to hope and pursue their best selves. By supporting this project, you’re helping share a story that motivates young athletes and everyday people alike to keep going, no matter what.

Your backing means giving a platform to voices that inspire positive change and remind us all that true strength comes from within.
