"Ka Whawahi Tonu" is a compelling New Zealand film that has captured attention for its innovative storytelling and deep connection to Māori culture. Directed by Mike Jonathan, the film stands out for its authentic portrayal of Māori experiences and its contribution to the national cinematic landscape.
T.M.Horo Management Actors Paku Fernandez - Haki, [Lead] Naatana Mika - Paku, [Lead] Tomika Whiu - Hitiri and Matia Mita - Ka, are shining examples of bravery and talent in the industry. Each of them brings a unique perspective and depth to their roles, reflecting their commitment to their craft and their cultural roots.
Their performances are not only compelling but also essential in ensuring that Māori voices are heard and respected in the film industry.
Increasing the number of local films is essential for several reasons:
Cultural Representation: More domestic productions provide opportunities to showcase New Zealand’s diverse narratives, including Māori stories.
Economic Benefits: Expanding local film production creates jobs and stimulates local economies.
Talent Development: A robust local industry supports the growth of emerging filmmakers and actors.
We are honoured to represent some of NZ's top Māori actors in the field of Film and TV. Ka Whawhai Tonu is out now in all Cinemas.
