- Director
James Solomon studied English Literature in northern England, then relocated from his native United Kingdom to New Zealand. But something about Karangahape Road reminded him of home. In 2015 he was a prime mover behind K' Rd Stories, a series of 10 short films celebrating the iconic street. Solomon directed two. Earlier, he won awards for his music videos (he has directed clips for Hollie Smith and Zowie) and commercials (McWhopper). Solomon is also a cameraman and an art director.
Screenography
“We wanted to celebrate it while it was still cool, kind of before that retrospective nostalgia. However, by the time we had completed the project, K Road had started to change very rapidly. I think we have really recorded a special place and time just before significant change.”
