IT’S CERTAINLY MORE HANDSOME THAN I AM”

Breath-taking scenery, undisturbed landscapes, world-class crew and a kiwi can-do attitude; just a few of the things that firmly set the Queenstown Lakes district among the greatest places in the world to film. From Features to Commercials, TV series & short films. We make it all.
