Justin Hawkes
Justin Hawkes knew from age 10 that he wanted to work in TV. An avid collector of TV guides, he sent TV3 a new programming schedule at age 13. The award-winning director and editor began his career as a tape operator at TVNZ, before honing his directing skills at music channel M2. He directed Netflix travel show Dark Tourist and won Best Director Documentary/Factual for Patrick Gower: On Weed at the 2020 NZ TV Awards.
