John Blick

After starting his filmmaking career at the National Film Unit, cinematographer John Blick has shot many iconic Kiwi commercials, done extended time in Asia and the United States — and worked alongside everyone from Brian Brake and Peter Jackson (The Frighteners), to Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.

As a photographer I love creating nuances with light, as a director I look for nuances of emotion and as a writer I try to inspire actors to create those emotions. As a producer I look for the money to achieve each of those things.
