A Stone's Throw Productions

I have been working in the industry since 2011 in a variety of roles. Production on local projects, location work on bigger productions and some casting assistant roles. Most of my work has been in Otago and Canterbury. I have also been co-ordinating ‘Filmmakers in Schools’ since 2015. This Waitaki based initiative has involved teaching film in primary and high schools, as well as a community and holiday programmes.
