Biography
Clare O'Leary began her filmmaking career in Western Australia through the Film and Television Institute, and through working on many independent productions. Her first film, Raw Energy, was a poetic montage of her experiences in Europe at the time of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
“I came back to New Zealand to make stories from a local context. Returning to New Zealand after several years away, gives you a fresh eye and creates its own internal culture shock.”
— Clare O'Leary
