Peter Jackson

Peter Jackson has gone from being a shy, unknown fanboy making crude pastiche versions of his favourite horror movies, to a renowned master of his craft; from Pukerua Bay to Wellywood: today he has few peers in the realm of large scale filmmaking.

New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.
