Vincent Ward has won an international reputation as one of New Zealand's most original and visionary filmmakers. Vigil and The Navigator played at the Cannes Film Festival. In Hollywood, Ward made the successful What Dreams May Come. His latest film is New Zealand docu-drama Rain of the Children.
I want my films to be accessible, though I also want to do them on my own terms, and to be about my own concerns as a filmmaker.
