Last week’s BELONGING Exhibition was epic, 🙏 to everyone who came along and filled with warmth and good heart. It was so cool to be reminded that we’re a community, regardless of the competitive nature, and the high’s and lows. We’re all basically pretty amazing human’s who care about our craft and the people we make stuff with. And this exhibition was all about belonging, and in some magical way, the vibe in the room amplified that completely.

So here’s to the work, the exhibition that explored and then embodied Belonging. And here’s to our team of talented image makers.

We’re excited to welcome to the FC director roster—an exciting addition to our creative family. From starring in front of the lens to calling the shots behind it, Dahnu brings a versatile skill set and fresh perspective to the team.

Earlier this year, he made his mark with his first short film, *Te Ahi*, slated for the international festival circuit. Now, with his commercial debut for Ogilvy NZ also under his belt, Dahnu is ready to bring his distinctive storytelling style to the world of advertising.

We’re licking the butter off our paws 😻 🐾

straps into an astral journey on a test shoot with some of the best snowboard bindings in the universe

The goal was to bring that same energy you get on the slopes or at the skate park right into the studio. Devon aimed the light straight at the lens, making the carefully placed dust pop, giving it that “snow splashing on the lens” vibe. Going all-in on the fish-eye lens, the kind that’s a staple in skateboarding shots—no filters, just pure in-camera style. All action, no fluff 🤟.

Thanks to the good folk CHCH for the bindings.

NEW FC HUMAN

We are stoked to welcome the super talents of to the fold.

A director with fresh vision, his storytelling is complemented by imaginative shot-making and finely honed craft.

Originally from Los Angeles and now based in Sydney, Tobias has already made his mark with campaigns for major brands like Apple Music, Samsung, and Nespresso.

His music videos for artists such as G-Eazy and Alessia Cara have garnered over a billion views. With a background in journalism, Nathan’s work explores complex human conditions, as seen in his acclaimed documentary short “Breaking the Circle.” Currently, in development on a feature film and a TV series, we can’t wait to integrate Tobias’ fresh vision into local projects.

Another standout human ⚡️

Photographer captures playful portraits of tennis legend for x

Shot at the IQL Tennis Academy in sunny Benidorm, Alicante, Spain, where time is always at a premium. Krige leans into his favorite way of shooting, allowing the natural dialogue between his lens and Alex De Minaur’s on-court choreography to unfold. This visual banter has been perfected over several shoots.

“When it comes to capturing De Minaur, his energy and generous character make my job easy and totally enjoyable. He’s one of the best,” says Krige.

Alicante, near Benidorm, exudes unique vibes, almost reminiscent of Miami Vice. You might even spot a few retirees catching some Z’s outside pubs from the night before. This distinctive atmosphere shines through in Krige’s vibrant portraits of De Minaur.

Producers of Epic Filmy Stuff...

Two young men, armed with a singular vision and a hand-levered La Pavoni espresso machine, decided to take over a basement office beside a student pub in Auckland. The year was 1996, and they knew this much – they were passionate about filmmaking, and partial to a good coffee.

Since then, Film Construction has grown beyond the bounds of a basement and into one of Australasia’s most creative and awarded film production companies with offices in Auckland, Sydney, Queenstown and Singapore.

And while Film Construction has always been passionate about filmmaking, we’ve never been more excited about things than we are today. With the explosive evolution of technology, we can now shoot in many formats and for many different screens. We work all over the world with our mantra still being “do great work and that speaks for itself”.

Our coffee machine is still at the centre of the office. So of course, drop in for a brew and tell us your story.
