Due to our longevity, we've had the benefit of being able to contribute to the growth of skills within the industry; from newly graduated paid interns, right through to experienced storytellers having a guided hand to step up to the 'next level' of their career. 🤝

While we enjoy our mahi, it's just as important to love who we're doing it with ☺️ We're extremely proud of our Greenstone whānau - Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini – my strength is not as an individual, but as a collective 💚

There’s no way to capture all the shows, all the memories, all the people involved - but we hope our 30th showreel clips brought back treasured memories for many. Huge thanks to all those we’ve worked with over the years, and all those who invited us in to share a piece of their story – we’re grateful for each and every one of you. 🫶🏼

We all know how important blood donation is, and on today of all days (beware of vampires! 🧛🏻‍♂️😜). So some of our team made a special Halloween visit to the New Zealand Blood Service - Epsom to donate blood - made all the more fun by going in costume! Legends. 🙌 💉🩸

We're never ones to shy away from a good dress-up, and Halloween is the perfect excuse! 🎃👻😂

Sharing some of the photo booth photos from our 30th celebration back in February🤳🏼 I say ‘some’, as in true photo booth fashion, quite a few were not suitable for sharing as the night wore on..! 🤭 Great to celebrate the collective mahi of not only Greenstone, but all those in the screen sector! 🙌

The Spinoff are counting down the top 100 NZ TV shows of the 21st Century - "...we hope this serves as a reminder to champion the unique stories that only we can tell, and celebrate all the people trying to tell them." 🙌💚

Our much loved Border Patrol NZ comes in at number 89. "Along with charting two decades of biosecurity infringements, it has also captured different important historic moments and social trends in our recent history, from the closing of the border during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, to the increased volume of drugs being seized over time. It also basically invented the unboxing video, which surely counts for something." 🗃️🤭🥳

Including a world-leading web series, a divisive cult comedy, and the most talked-about reality show we've ever made.

Greenstone memories - how it began

John Harris founded Greenstone waaaaaay back in 1994 🙌 Here he tells us what those early days looked like. 📺 GS Memories - sharing stories of Greenstone's 30 years 🖥️

Neighbours At War

Neighbours at War is a cult classic, and showcases the good, the bad, and the quirky of everyday kiwis. Fact really IS often stranger than fiction - you couldn't make this stuff up (as our real-life blooper demonstrates!) 🤣 📺 GS Memories - sharing stories of Greenstone's 30 years 🖥️

The Zoo

For over a decade from the late 90's a team was based at Auckland Zoo filming for 'The Zoo' tv series - how's that for better work stories!! The beloved show was hugely popular family viewing - both here and overseas. 🦒🐘🦁🦏🦎 📺 GS Memories - sharing stories of Greenstone's 30 years 🖥️
