Director, Producer, Reporter [Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Maru, Te Ati Awa]
Derek Wooster is a veteran producer, director, reporter and writer who made milestone mainstream and Māori programming - from Mastermind to Marae - throughout his 30-year career with Television New Zealand. As well as creating and producing the country's longest running Māori current affairs series, Wooster has worked on significant national broadcasts including the tangihanga of Dame Whina Cooper and the Māori Queen.
I am privileged that so many trusted me enough to tell me their stories, sing me their songs, perform their dances – so that others could share their views and talents.
– Derek Wooster
