His talents have contributed to more than 15 features, including Whale Rider, Desperate Remedies, The Price of Milk and No.2. Narbey's work as a director includes movies The Footstep Man and Illustrious Energy, an acclaimed drama about Chinese goldminers.
Sometimes we were working in imaginary spaces where there are no walls, like the artificial gardens. We were in a white studio and moving in every direction. It was fascinating and I really enjoyed it.
