Yvonne Mackay is a prolific director of New Zealand film and television. Her work has often focused on arts subjects and children's genres. Yvonne made history as the director of The Silent One (1984), the first New Zealand feature film directed solely by a woman.
I am a collaborative person [...] By nature, I am a director, and I want to work with other fantastic artists who will make me look flash.
