ABOUT US
We are a team of creators, bringing together our film industry experience in writing, directing, cinematography, art direction, editing and motion design to form Pēnei Productions.
At the heart of our kaupapa, we tell stories in te reo Māori, infused with the magic, wonder and excitement that captivates humans of every kind.
Even in our non-reo Māori work, whether in the commercial or corporate space, the storytelling gene is in the DNA of everything we create.
